nursing one's nipples
pain shoots along nerve endings
tender from teething

another stereotype shot down by one who knows

Baby craves warm milk
Anxious mother dreads small teeth.
Drinking and flinching.

first love, never lost
big babies are Playboy's feast
suckling till they die.

whoops, that's a wee bit nasty, eh?

pen: ouch, you make me glad that I'm a maahan..

JB: so much for warm and cozy, breastfeeding is a danger zone.

j.r.- i love the image of the eyes full past brim. so nurturing and warm this one is. makes me wistful. whimpering doctors

hahaha, damn straight pen! no, i don't know from experience (thank god!) but it's easy to imagine. ouch.

jimbob- i love that, "drinking and flinching". that's great.

j.r. (again)- hahaha, but i didn't think plastic breasts gave milk. poised fishhooks
