Ode to Nursing Mothers
by Ami Burns  For baby and meI know nursing is best But I feel like my life Is controlled by my breasts I have no idea where my sex life has been 'Cause when I want to "do it" My milk comes in I have nursed my baby everywhere From clothing stores to the dentist's chair When I use my pump, I feel like a cow And when baby wants to nurse, He wants to nurse NOW! Just when I think it's time for a rest Baby's back at it - wanting the breast I'll admit there are times when I just want to scream And I pray for the time when my baby is weaned I'm engorged, I'm tired, my nipples are sore During growth spurts I cry: "I can't take anymore!" But then there are the times When baby's at my breast And nursing actually calms me And gets rid of my stress These are the times that we nursing moms treasure When nurturing our babies brings us such pleasure So when someone sees you nursing And asks you "why?" The following words should be in your reply: For baby and me I know nursing is best And life's not so bad When controlled by my breasts |
