For the life of me, I can't quite grasp this whole breastfeeding thing. All I know is that Violet is eating enough because she's gaining weight and apparently that's all I need to know. I wish I had an understanding where this milk comes from and how much of it comes in and at what times. For all I know, there is a midget somewhere in my body with a keg full of milk. He probably pumps the milk into my boobs whenever he feels is convenient for him.
Violet is a healthy, happy baby that has even started to sleep for stretches of 7 hours at a time, which leads me to believe that not only do I have enough milk, but it's also very rich and fatty and keeps her content for long periods of time. Sometimes I think one boob dispenses guacamole, while the other releases wine. That combination will have anyone sleeping for hours!
