Why because I recently (6 months ago) stopped breastfeeding my daughter.
And anyone who knows me know that I was very motivated and head-strong about breastfeeding.
There are so many benefits, I mean if more women were educated about breastfeeding then more women would do it.
Benefits of breastfeeding include:
- Promotes a healthy bond between mother and child
- Helps fight breast cancer
- Helps your uterus snap back in shape (thus allowing your body to get rid of some unwanted weight
- It carries all of the proteins and vitamins, and pro-biotics that helps keep your child healthy
- It has yet to be duplicated (cannot duplicate the best, that's why now they have breast milk donations) and honestly Cow milk is for Heifers.
- etc.
Any who, I loved breastfeeding, and would do it all over again.
It was kind of hard to stop and when I did and my milk dried up my little Lee Lee said "Mommy lets go get milk out of the fridge." She made me laugh and it was hard explaining that it would not be that easy but she's coming around. However, right before I started weening her I did start feeling weird because she was tall for her to be 2 (she looked like a 3-4 year old) and she would be hanging off of my lap while she was breastfeeding so I think it was getting uncomfortable for the both of us. Just stop when you are ready do not let anyone pressure you to stop. The longer the better... I wanted to breastfeed her until she was like 4 but can you say WEIRD really loud. I did and realized that it was time.
Every now and again she will say "mommy, may I have Tetas," and I just have to remind her that she is a big girl and that tetas are for babies.
So please just remember All kids are Precious and breastfeeding is the best way! (I did not say the only way)
