What are your thoughts on breastfeeding?

I think it is a beautiful thing to see a baby at a mother's breast. I find it comforting and it tells me Life does indeed go on no matter what other stupidity we have gotten ourselves into.

its whats best for baby! I breastfed mine.

I think it's great. Whip em out whenever they like I say.

Healthy and natural :)

it's healthy for the mom and baby most of all (gives them natural protection in the form of antibodies when they still cannot make their own)

it helps the mom and baby bond faster and better

it prevents the mom from getting periods earlier than if she doesn't breastfeed - may aid in preventing cancer of the breast because of the decreased oestrogens in the body

it helps save money from having to buy expensive baby foods, and to top it all, it is nutritious and healthy for the baby, because it is its natural food, what the baby is meant to live on in the first few months after all.

Healthy way to feed the baby as long as the mother eats right and takes care of herself.

I think it's beautiful.

I think it is a beautiful way for a mother and baby to bond and the health benefits are amazing. Breast milk contains antibodies and nutrients that can prevent many childhood diseases. Breastfed infants have been shown to develop higher IQ's and have a lower risk of SIDS. It also helps mothers lose baby weight. There are just so many reasons to breast feed and it surprises me that so many mothers don't.

dont let other people try to tell you how to do it if the baby is sucking n content then your doing it right. great for the baby great for loosing baby weight!!

Best way to feed the baby if you stay to your diet.

It's excellent in many ways. Before the advent of modern drugs, babys who had to be weaned early usually died in their 2nd summer. Breast milk is also great on cuts-they heal much faster. The only Q I have concerns late weaning-a local kid was still unweaned at age 6.

It's the best possible start in life you can give to your baby and it's free!!!

me and my brothers and sister was breast feed and we all 4 have grown up to be healthy and strong audlts and teenagers.

I think besides all of the health benefits to the baby, it is a wonderful way for a mother to bond with her babyt's and it's cheaper than formula.

It is wonderful. I breastfed my daughter and son. It's healthy for the baby. No store bought formula can compare. It's cheaper than formula and easier to digest,too. Many nutrients and antibodies. Breastfed babies don't have as much illness as formula fed babies. It's portable, always warm, never have to pack a bottle or sanitize anything unless you just want to!I think it is such a beautiful thing to see a woman use her breasts the way God/nature intended.I would never find it offensive.
