Whether it's bottle, boob, or a combination of both, having a new baby means spending lots of time feeding and holding them while they nap afterwards. Infants have just a few basic functions: cry, eat, sleep, and look adorable, which is why we love it when they combine the last three in that full body relaxation mode known as "milk drunk." Seeing a baby fully passed out and dreaming right after a feeding is clear and undeniable evidence that a parent is crushing it, and that baby couldn't be happier.
Normally, anyone who drinks to the point of passing out isn't funny; they're sloppy and possibly in need of some professional intervention. But there's something truly adorable about a baby having a little too much of the "house white" (breast milk, of course) and hunkering down to sleep it off right afterwards, preferably right in mama's arms.

For new parents, it's easy to get hung up on all the things that aren't going smoothly, to focus on the middle-of-the-night crying jags or the diaper explosions that leave the living room carpet forever scarred. This is why it's so important for us to stop and cherish (and maybe snap a picture or two) of the super precious and sometimes hilarious sight of our babies completely blissed out post-meal, to remember the sweeter side of having a newborn. Unlike their grown-up counterparts, milk-drunk babies are an absolutely adorable sight to behold, and we've gathered up some photos that prove it.
