Families From Within: Breasfeeding

A source of milk
that’s all he wants
my nipples are cracked and bleed
he opens wide
and sucks so strong
tears drop upon his head.

Amelie, Ottawa (Ontario)

My midnight feedings were always very special for me. These were my quiet times alone with each child — no brothers, family, visitors, neighbours, telephone calls or work — just me and my child loving each other.

Julie, Acton Vale (Quebec)
