I have been breastfeeding my 3rd child for 5 months now and I have never been amazed in my life! She is the healthiest in our family because of the antibodies from my milk. I am proud to breastfeed my baby!

Breastfeeding is important moment of baby and mother. No bottle feedinf has the same nutrition like breastfeeding. I believe this is the best food for babies in their first days…Reading about your son question I think I must have the photos of my breastfeeding moment in case my children ask about it someday

this is enlightening.. i was talking with my bestfriend the other day and we were talking about our 2-yr-old babies’ milk and all.. She told me that at one year old their American Pediatrician advised to stop giving Formula Milk to their son., and give him fresh cow’s milk twice a day., that is at lunch and before bed.. what do you think bout that? i think i have to go over again this post tomorrow when i wake up.. eyes ready to drop..

@dina- when I wrote this entry, I discovered the death statistics by accident. I was mortified at how aggressive these Milk Companies are.

@Nerisa- they will only show the side that will be of value to them, conveniently removing parts of the study.
