Breastfeeding?
"So, can I breastfeed?"
"I don't know. I'm not the changeling in this relationship."
"Fair point. But I mean, all this talk of having a foal has gotten me thinking."
"And?"
"Well, you know how we're going to have to either adopt or have a surrogate mother?"
"Yes."
"Well, I run into a similar problem here. Yes, changeling bodies can replicate most fluids that might come out of a regular pony."
"I'm keenly aware."
"That was one time! Anyway, yes, I could theoretically create a poor facsimile of breast milk, but it's not going to be very nutritious and it's not going to be very much and it would take a lot of energy out of me."
"Okay, so we buy bottled milk for our future son or daughter.
"But I mean, I want to experience the motherhood experience! Isn't nursing part of that?"
"Look, if a foal sucking on your teats is going to make you feel more like a mother, I say go for it. Um, that sentence sounded less weird in my head."
"Yeah. Do you think I'm silly though, obsessing over this?"
"No, I don't think you're obsessing. I think you want authenticity, and that's something noble, well, not noble. Um...
"Valid?"
"Sure, let's go with that. Something valid to strive for."
"So I can't breastfeed, but I can pretend to?"
"I guess? We'll just need to put baby bottles on the foal shower registry, and we should be good."
"Okay. I'm glad we had this conversation."

Nice little look at the fine details.
That doesn't look like a horse nursing from that mare in the picture. Or am I mistaken? The tail looks too short, even supposing the hair was cut very short.

Picture now broken.
P.S. I really like how this story makes the changelings both alien and relatable. That is why I reread it from time to time.

I put in a new picture. I’m glad you enjoy the story; I can’t promise when I’ll add to it next given that I would need to do some retconning. You should definitely check out “these are the days of our lives“, which features the same characters.
