Reason 5,324 to extend BF

[@llli*jill.e.andrews]

Yesterday ds (24 mos) fell in the driveway giving himself quite the roadrash on the right side of his face from forehead to chin. He was screaming, and bleeding in a few places. His only consolation was to nurse. His little eyes looking up at me for reassurance, he calmed down. I can't imagine anything else quieting him the way nursing did. A few weeks ago he closed his little pinky in a door. The same thing...right to the breast, and he calmed down. BTW, he has a t-shirt that says "I do all my own stunts"!
It just confirms all I knew to be true about extended BF'ing.

This was so nice to read, the comfort that BF can provide...just thought I'd add that I have used a little mama medicine (EBM) on small cuts (DS and mine) and it has worked great. Looks like you have a little daredevil on your hands

Yes, we've already had our first trip to the ER. About a month ago, he dislocated a ligament in his elbow. Again, it's the bf'ing that kept him calm.
