Parent’s Blessing of a Child When Nursing or Feeding

God,

you are like a mother to us all,

nourishing all creatures with food and with blessing.

Strengthen my child with (my milk/this food)

and with the warmth of our nearness.

     Or:

Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation: you nourish all your children.
