Today, I really feel like a superhero. Tandem nursing can be quite challenging sometimes and this is one of the "very challenging" days.
Now picture this. It's 6:30 am, your 10 month old daughter is awake. You pick her up, go downstairs to the playroom, sit on the rocking chair and nurse her.
A few minutes have passed and she has a good flow coming out when her 22 month old brother wakes up. He's cranky and crying... Better get to him quickly to avoid a crisis... But she's latched on so well and you don't want milk all over your floor. What to do? Ah! You grab her by the waist and run up the stairs while she is still nursing.
As you are running up the stairs you see an obstacle. The gate! That strong, hard to open gate at the top of the stairs that prevents little toddler from falling down. You somehow manage to open the gate with one hand after a few trials and grab your 22 month old and go back down the stairs. You sit on the rocking chair again and take your second boob out (ok ok, more like your toddler takes your boob out for you).
Finally, you get some time to peacefully wake up while your two little ones have their morning milk and get ready for an exciting and busy day
Honestly, I feel like a super nursing hero!!!
