Many first-time mothers find getting breastfeeding established difficult and combined with the baby blues it can be a very emotional time. But if you had all the relevant information on what it involves and the benefits would you choose to breast feed? I know I would have.

I nursed my 2 boys and now I am currently nursing my 4 week old daughter. I love nursing my babies, it is such a special bond. It was a little difficult in the beginning with my first baby.

my breast feeding years are gone..but i really cherish those moments..those years are really immovable..there is a very unique bond that is created..and the love..

now my kids are teenagers...so thats long gone..but the love is still there!

I loved my breastfeeding years. I would warn new moms that it is very hard and not at all as natural as the formula industry would make you think. The first month can be painful and exhausting. This doesn't mean that there is something wrong with you and that you need to move to formula, it just means your body is adapting.

"Breastfeeding should never hurt" is actually a myth put out there by the formula companies.

I would. However my breasts had other ideas with both my children. With my son I dried up after 2 weeks. With my daughter I was still in the hospital and had three lactation nurses helping me and I still dried up. My glands are a bit haywire. It was very depressing for me both times as both my children suffered from terrible painful gas and I knew that they would not have gas so bad if I could just breastfeed.

I breastfeed my son. I am so glad that I chose to. I almost gave up several times in the beginning. Between improper latch, engorgement, and lack of support from my spouse and family. But I held on, and it is so worth it. My son is a healthy happy little guy, and the bond we have is amazing.

I breastfed both of my kids until they were 2. The first seemed to come out of the womb nursing, and we didn't have any problems except for an over abundance of milk. With my second, he didn't get the hang of nursing until we left the hospital. He's still not a big eater. If I we were to have another child, I would DEFINITELY nurse again. But I think my nursing days are long over.

I agree this one, mother's milk is very much helpful and keeps healthy to children. there will be no milk that is powerful than mother's feeding. i congratulate you that you succeeded.
