I’m so struck by your seven year old asking how YOU feel giving milk. The awareness that you, the mother, providing/giving is also a person having an experience of her own and wanting to know and understanding how that feels for you shows so much empathy and deep curiosity. This is a beautiful piece.
I didn't consider his awareness in the moment, not in the way you articulate it anyway, so thank you for noticing. It makes the moment even more special. I was taken aback by his curiosity, only because as I wrote, I never even considered my feelings. How often does that happen to us, especially as women?
