Baby & Me

[Kiddada]

Does anyone enjoy breastfeeding as much as my baby and me?

[Jennifer]

i simply love breastfeeding! My son loves it too. It's such a wonderful bonding experience and it is so convenient.

I breastfeed my dd until she was 15 months it is very convenient and safe and a great way to bond with your child.

I breastfeed both of my children, and we all loved it. I believe strongly that my children and I are closer because of it.

[NITA]

Yes I do. I enjoy the bond that my son and I are building. I am not 100% secure with doing it in public, even with my wrap, but overall I enjoy the fact that I am doing something good for my child.

I absolutely LOVE breastfeeding! I have 4 children (15-boy, 7-boy, 2-1/2-girl, and 9 months-boy). I love every aspect of it and always have. It's so convenient and so rewarding! I even love the "let-down" tingle when they first latch on. I courageously endured the pain for the first week or two right after birth knowing that I was in it for the long haul. I breastfeed my oldest son for 17 months, my second son for 11 months, my daughter for 13 months, and plan to nurse my infant until he's about 13 months. I'll wean him just before I attend a business conference this summer.

As a Health & Wellness Coach, I'm constantly encouraging people, especially women to take better care of themselves and their family. Also, I encourage every pregnant woman I see to breastfeed their babies for as long as they possibly can!

Hello Everyone,

My son is 9, but I breastfed him and found it extremely rewarding. We bonded in a way I have never bonded with anyone. He seemed to really be fulfilled after I fed him. I too encourage mothers to at least try it.

Hi Kiddada!

I, too, found breastfeeding to be sooooo rewarding. I breastfed my, now 11 year old, until she was around 18 months. I have to admit, that was a little long and weaning was hard, but she never got sick one time. I was frowned upon by my family and friends. The only person who continued to encourage me was my Pediatrician, who commended me for doing what was right for my daughter. My youngest, who is 1 year old, was weaned earlier. I regret weaning her at 6 months because she has had 3 upper respiratory infections since. Now that I am pregnant again I will definitely breast feed these twins. My family is already predicting how tired and overwhelmed I will be breastfeeding 2 at once. I insist that I can and will breastfeed them and I will not wean them before 1 year. It is so good for the baby.

My only concern is giving dad some time to feed them. He generally gets off scottfree for midnight feedings because I have the "milk".

Thanks for this contribution to the site,

In the beginning I didn't like breastfeeding and wished that I never started. I didn't get any sleep and was tired all the time. I got no help from DH or family. Now that she is 3 months everyone wants me to stop I am happily breastfeeding. I love it now and wouldn't stop unless she didn't want the boob anymore.
