As World Breastfeeding Week draws to a close, thinking of some of my favorite accomplishments while nursing. Painting a stairway. Exploring a corn maze. Touring the White House. Cutting my husband's hair. Hauling wheelbarrows of mulch. Find this sweet little Dr. Seuss style poem that seemed fitting. 🥰

Would you nurse her in a park?
Would you nurse her in the dark?
Would you nurse her with a boppy?
And when your b***s are feeling floppy?

I would nurse her in the park.
I would nurse her in the dark.
I’d nurse with or without a boppy.
Floppy b***s 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 her at the game?
Would you nurse her in the rain?
In front of those who dare complain?
I would nurse her 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 sir or ma’am.
I will nurse her, MOM I am.
