Thoughts on Breastfeeding

There are many benefits in breastfeeding your child. Besides the fact that is is the best natural food for your growing child it is also a way where you can bond more intimately with your baby. I have breastfed both my boys since they were born. My elder son was breastfeed for 6mths while my younger boy has been breastfeed for 2yrs and is in the process of being weaned.

Breastfeeding have saved me quite a bit of money which I would have needed to invest in purchasing bottles, detergents and sterlising equipment . Both my kids were on TBF and were latched on. I really enjoyed breastfeeding them as it does help me bond closer with them.

With the recent scare of Melamine in milk in 2008 I am even more determined that my decision to breastfeed is definitely beneficial for my child. I intend to breastfeed all my kids to give them a headstart in life.
