Why Breast is Best for my Family.

At first breastfeeding was an easy choice. I knew about it, and had seen other mother's do it, I knew it was the natural way to feed a baby and that overall quality of the milk was better then formula.  But once I started I realized it wasn't nearly as easy as I had thought. So I really had to consider what I would continue doing. Keep fighting the good fight to nurse or switch to formula. It was at the point I did research, and I soon found my answers! I am not talking about my research here. I am simply saying what makes me a breastfeeding advocate, and why boobies work best in my family. 

1. Cheap- Lets face it formula is expensive! Mama milk is cheaper. Even if you include nursing pads, bags and such I spent about the cost of a single can of formula a month on nursing and pumping supplies.
2. Nutrition- Living breathing , forming growing changing milk, made literally of me! Amazing stuff!
3. Quick and "easy"- Breastfeeding is not always easy, but at some point it does get there and for me popping a nipple in my babies mouth is so much easier the measuring formula and mixing it up. 
4. The connection factor- 15+ minuets of eye contact, caressing and cuddling with a precious, wonderful smelling bundle of joy! This is one thing that no matter what is going on I feel so good, loved and happy... Thank you oxytocin! 
5. The potential to donate to babies who's lives depend on it. Way too many premature babies die of NEC how amazing is it that we can help? Curious to learn more? http://www.bestforbabes.org/fast-facts-miracle-milk/
