My breasts did the thing today for the first time (and, of course, continued to do it afterward each time), where they started dripping milk as soon as the baby started crying. It was sudden and silly. But it was also fun to see it happening.
Perhaps what was coolest about it was that I knew I wasn’t all emotional about her crying. Those who had told me about its having happened to them were always very emotional about their babies crying. I have not been and don’t seem to be at all like that. I feel for the child, but I’m not torn apart that she is suffering in this way.
So, it was cool to see how biology really does connect us so well, yet also in a silly way.
