«Ben estaba durmiendo a las 8:45pm. Ya tiene 13 meses y aun no duerme la noche completa. Se despierta buscando el comfort que le da la tete. Últimamente estaba durmiendo 4 y 5 horas corridas pero desde el domingo se está despertando con más frecuencia… Tal vez le viene algún diente. 

A las 10:30 pm yo me serví un poco de helado y pensé: espero poder terminar sin que Ben se despierte. Justo cuando me llevaba la segunda cucharada a la boca lo escuché por el monitor. 

El duerme la primera parte de la noche (4 horas + o -) en su cuna que está en nuestra habitacion y luego lo pasamos a la cama con nosotros. 

En fin, cuando llegué a la habitacion el estaba de pie en la cuna; lo cargué y me senté en la mecedora a darle lo que más le gusta, su tete. En cuestión de 3 minutos ya estaba durmiendo otra vez y así durmiendo se prendió de mi cuello y me abrazó… 

En su abrazo yo pude sentir su seguridad, su confianza hacia mi. Me sentí madre… Me agobiaron tantos sentimientos bonitos y no pude hacer otra cosa más que llorar y darle gracias a Dios por regalarme tanta dicha. Ya no quería helado, solo quería seguir abrazandolo. » Jessica Weir mamá foro mamaRD, sept. 2012

«Que bello lo que cuentas, me indentifiqué  contigo pues yo también ya me he ido en lágrimas varias veces mientras amamanto a mi príncipe que tiene 3 meses y medio.

En mí no cabe la dicha y la satisfacción que siento cuando le doy el seno, sentir que ese angelito se alimenta de mi ha sido sin duda la experiencia más trascendental, importante y hermosa de mi vida, creo que nada supera ese momento, es uno de los momentos más bellos en la vida de cualquier mujer… »  Ámbar Carolina Castillo mamá foro mamaRD, sept. 2012
