BREASTS ARE FOR BABIES
Nurturing your baby through breastfeeding is the most loving and comforting act a mom can do. Holding your baby close gives your baby security and bonds the two of you forever. I nursed 2 of my children for 6 years. The last one I had at home in my bed, attended by my husband and 3 midwives. My family was nearby. My mother was there. This was the best time of my life. I took my children everywhere and was never ashamed to nurse them wherever I was. I always carried a blanket and was discreet. I encourage all expectant moms to join a LaLeche group and you will be amazed at the love and friendship you will find! God Bless!
