Breastfeeding is awesome! Now. Im the beginning, not so much... But I'd go through it again in a heartbeat. When Lilly was born my body wasn't really feeling it. After about 8 hours of natural labor and an hour of pushing, Lilly emerged looking beautiful. The number she did on my body, on the other hand was not so beautiful. I tore from here to Antarctica. So I was busy being stitched..and stitched and stitched. I completely forgot to latch her in the first hour. That was my first mistake. She laid on my newly flat belly for a little over an hour while my two fabulous doctors were up to their elbows in the bloody remains of my prebaby genitalia.
Today is IBLC day so how fitting to make a post on breastfeeding. Breastfeeding a baby is a natural and beautiful thing. I never knew how capable my body was. Making enough milk to sustain a beautiful 3 month old baby is a wonderful feeling. Many people think breastfeeding is a controversial issue. It is. But I don't know why. Breastfeeding is NATURAL. Its HEALTHY. For both Mom and baby. Stop judging. I don't judge you for giving your baby formula.
Bottom line. I love breastfeeding and I love being a Mom.
