The benefits of breastfeeding.

[Pippi Longstocking]

PLEASE, NO DEBATING! I thought it would be luffly to have a thread devoted solely to the positives of breastfeeding. A noice, friendly, happy booby thread :smiliedance: :hugs: :kiss: . So what do you luff about breastfeeding? I'll start...I love breastfeeding because I know my baby is getting a perfect, balanced, healthy food that provides all of her nutrients.

I love that I know my milk changes to suit each baby at certain stages of growth :) throughout their whole breastfeeding relationship.


I love that I can go anywhere, anytime and don't have to worry about packing my boobs:D...these babies are always on the ready. LOL

I love feeling the overwhelming joy and closeness. Looking at their face when they are feeding. so content.

Great for immunity and get flora..:smiliedance:

[my babyemmy]

i love how she smiles while she is on her boobies and lately she says mmm (well it sounds like it anyway) actually i love everything about it:)

[Refresh]

I love that it is the one thing that is guaranteed to solve every problem!:yelclap: :thumbsup:

[Tea Lady]

ALL of the above. I love that J still looks like a baby when she feeds and like a toddler the rest of the time. I love watching her eyes roll back in her head when she starts feeding if she's tired. :)

Lol I love being lazy and just flopping out the boob!:D

I love everything about actually breastfeeding and seeing others breastfeedng, I love the sense of achievement you get knowing your milk has enhanced thier development and growth. Its like your own little miracle.

I love that Andrew loves it so much - I love that I can give him something he loves that is good for him! I love that his face lights up when I lift my shirt and sometimes he gets so excited he laughs and claps :D

I love that it fixes everything and that its something special that only he and I can share.

I love the grunts and mmmnnns. I love the portability. I love that DS refuses anything else that's put in his mouth, no substitutes!

I love that other people admire me for doing it, but am saddened that it's now so uncommon to see a mother breastfeeding that they feel they need to admire me...

[Rhys'Mum]

I love when he reaches up and pats my face (the smacking and dragging his fingernails down I could do without but the other makes me all gooey).

I love it when I'm gazing lovingly at him and he looks back at me.

I love it when every now and then he decides its playtime and I see a little smile just peaking out while he is still attached. I love it even more when there's a giggle.

I love that we get these times together when nothing else matters.

I love the fact that I am able to breastfeed, even though we really struggled getting it together for the first few weeks.

I love the fact it keeps the warm fuzzy hormones coming.

[CandyJane]

I love that if I have been away from my baby he comes running to me yelling "booby, booby" as soon as he sees me - its our reconnection time :D

[*Sal*]

I (used to) love lying down in bed and breastfeeding, and we'd both fall asleep in the middle of the day. Looking forward to getting the opportunity to do that again soon :yelclap:

[elissas]

Oh, and I also loooove Booby Drunk. In fact, maybe I love that one the most!

[LilShenanigans]

yeah... I agree with everything said... the 'hidden' smile is the cutest

But I cant believe this hasn't been mentioned...

I love my breasts!!! C'mon women, embrace those lovely large assests!!
Not only do they attract the alterior motive attention of your bubs, but also all those DHs, partners, and single men out there!! :smiliedance: hehehe
