NEVER EVER underestimate the toil of mothers of newly born babies.
Hectic, pressurising, time consuming, stressfull etc etc.
The effects and impacts of carrying a few weeks old baby who refuses to lie down for sleep but constantly prefers to be put to sleep by resting their head on your shoulder.....woe unto you if you change positions; the tender baby begins to wriggle in discomfort accompanied by a shrill cry comparable to the siren of an ambulance weaving through rush hour traffic. Not forgetting the waist and back discomfort arising due to an upper body tilt (in a standing position) when the baby is carried on your torso region.
They say experience is the best teacher (not always) but just a taste of that particular experience puts you in an appreciative and sublime attitude towards these mothers (that was my experience today)
You got a parent, sibling, relative, friend who is a nursing mother? The journey starts not only during the 9 month pregnancy but also, after birth.
Lets help make this cycle a lovely and memorable one.
I know very well today 8th Sept. 2016 has not been set aside to honor mothers but for me, its a thumbs up to all mothers!!!
Always inspired..
