This week is World Breastfeeding Week, each day this week I have been posting funny breastfeeding sayings as my facebook status. Yesterday it was "If breastfeeding in public offends your, please fill free to put a blanket over your heard" today it was "Mommy's milk is better then any udder milk". I want to make some onesies with these sayings on them real bad.
Anyhow I wanted to post about why I have chosen to breastfeed Oliver. I actually never thought twice about it, I just knew that I was going to breastfeed. Formula never crossed my mind, unless something went wrong with my supply or he didn't latch on. Even then I would pump and bottle feed him expressed milk. Reason #1 would be that its better for him by far. #2 would be money wise, why pay for something when I can feed him my boob for free. #3 Bonding with my son in away that is so wonderful #4 not waking up and having to prep bottles and warm them up, bam- here is my boob! I could go one, but to tell you the truth I love everything about breastfeeding my son.
I plan on breastfeeding up until year one, but you never know I might go longer. We are starting solids next month and I am excited about that. I plan on making all his food; not only because its cheaper but because its healthier for him as well. I have everything ready, I am just waiting till he hits 6 months because I don't want to take any big risks on allergies.
That's my story and I am sticking to it and I try to encourage women every day to make the best choice for you baby because choosy babies choose boobs!
