I didn’t breast feed my daughter. I honestly didn’t like the idea of it for my life. I do think it’s beneficial for children, although I do question how much. But that is because I was breast fed as a baby, but still wound up with loads of health problems, including cancer.

This is a great guest post. I am a huge supporter of breastfeeding. I breastfed my daughter for over a year and I have been going strong with my son for 5 months now. Both of my children have been very healthy and I believe breastfeeding played a huge role.

12 years later-I’m still disappointed I didn’t get to brestfeed my girls due to complications. I advice every pregnant woman to at least give it a try for their child!

Nice guest post! My children are 12 and 10 now, so the topic of breastfeeding seems far removed, though only yesterday I was speaking with a lady who is expecting her first child and the topic of breastfeeding came up in our conversation. I specifically remember being more concerned about my ability to successfully breastfeed, than I was about labor and delivery.

As it turned out, my experience with both children was quite positive. Aside from the many wonderful health benefits, the bonding time with my child was amazing. And taking the time to breastfeed forced me to rest and take care of myself.

Thanks for the reminder of such a beautiful time in life.

For the past few years, government in our country has been promoting the benefits of breastfeeding among the mothers. With the constant encouragement and promotion, the society has developed more awareness about the benefits of breastfeeding to the mothers and babies. Breast milk is a natural anti-body for the babies immune system. Thanks for the post to provide more information about breastfeeding.
