I just finished Breasts by Jean Hannah Edelstein and completely agree with you - perfect length, so much wit and so many wry observations. I'm going to pick up her other memoirs!
Feeding in a sling was a skill I was so proud of, I miss doing it now my babies have all grown out of theirs. I have a copy of Breasts and am excited to read, though I've not been in the right mood for it quite yet!
Sandwich made me understand my mother so much better. It also made me simultaneously put my daughter back inside my body and also sit down and watch a feature film on the rest of her life immediately! My favorite book of the last few years - reading it 8 months postpartum was perfection.
I absolutely LOVE the way you've expressed this. The book really does evoke every single stage of motherhood, all at once in such a vividly relatable, emotionally resonant way. And at the same time it's JUST SO READABLE. Like you say, perfection 💖

Such a godsend too when you have more than one! My youngest basically spent the first 3 months of his life breastfeeding in a sling!
Haha, I think my youngest spent the first year in there (in fact, I know she did!)
