The lighter side of breastfeeding:
Water the Plants
Just the other day, a nurse colleague made a remark that absolutely threw me into an outburst of laughter. Commenting on her breastfeeding experience, she said to me that she had enough milk to ... you guessed it ... water the plants! Now I usually have mothers describe their milk supplies as "enough to feed the neighborhood" or "an army" (just an expression), but never enough to water the plants! Keep in mind that human milk is about 87% water -- that's why it's a wonderful source of hydration for babies. Keep in mind that many, if not most plants, require water to thrive and survive. I'll admit that I did actually wonder, for a very brief moment, if a plant would benefit from being watered with, well, breast milk!
