Pumping isn't great, but actually nursing a baby can be wonderful. It releases hormones, and is generally very relaxing for me if my baby is calm.

- tomjen3 12y agoI imagine there is an evolutionary reason for that - but at the same time (if you don't mind me asking) how often is the baby calm?
- smokey_the_bear 12y agoBoth of mine have generally been calm. Nursing changes a lot as they get older, mine usually weren't interested in nursing when they've just eaten a lot of solids, or if there are distractions around, and being overtired is a whole other beast. I'd say now with my second baby, at 11 months, 90% of the bedtime and morning nursings are pleasant bonding experiences, and half of the daytime ones.
