Breastfeeding, Dr Seuss style!

I have decided that I shall not mourn my end of my breastfeeding journey... instead, I shall celebrate the fact that I have breastfed my kids for so long! I just came across this from an email Andrea sent me some time ago, and I love it, coz I love Dr Seuss! Enjoy this poem, obviously spoofed off Green Eggs and Ham!

Breastfeeding, Dr Seuss style!

Would you nurse him in a park?
Would you nurse him in the dark?
Would you nurse him with a boppy?
And when your boobs are feeling floppy?

I would nurse her in the park.
I would nurse him in the dark.
I'd nurse with or without a boppy.
Floppy boobs will never stop me.

Can you nurse with your seat belt on?
Can you nurse from dusk til dawn?
Though she may pinch me, bite me, pull,
I will nurse her til she's full.

Can you nurse and make some soup?
Can you nurse and feed the group?
It makes her healthy strong and smart,
Mommy's milk is the best start!

Would you nurse him at the game?
Would you nurse her in the rain?
In front of those who dare complain?
I would nurse him at the game.
I would nurse her in the rain.
As for those who protest lactation,
I have a perfect explanation.
Mommy milk is tailor made
It's perfect food, you need no aid.
Some may scoff and some may wriggle,
Avert their eyes or even giggle.

To those who can be cruel and rude,
Remind them breast's the perfect food.
I would never scoff or giggle,
Roll my eyes or even wiggle!
I would never be so crass or crude,
I KNOW that this milk's the perfect food!

We make the right amount we need,
The perfect temp for every feed.
There's no compare to milk from breast-
The perfect food, above the rest.

Those nursing smiles are oh so sweet,
Mommy milk is such a treat.
Human milk just can't be beat.
I will nurse, in any case,
On the street or in your face.
I will not let my baby cry,
I'll meet her needs, I'll always try.
It's not about what's good for you,
It's best for babies, through and through.

I will nurse her in my home,
I will nurse her when I roam.
Leave me be lads, leave me be ma'am
I will nurse her, Mom I am.

Hello hello!

This blog was started, originally, to share with our friends and relatives, in Singapore and abroad, our pictures and stories of Isaac our first child, growing up. Since then, we have had another two babies: Asher & Shawna, our fraternal boy-girl twins :) Yes we are very blessed indeed!

We're pleased that our family has grown, and we would like to share our wonderful journey with you. We hope to be an inspiration to all such that they will want to start a family asap - for "A happy family is but an earlier heaven!" - this is where heaven is a place on earth!

We thank the good Lord for our beautiful babies - they are our angels in disguise! :)
