Well I didn't breastfeed my son. Actually, there is a huge controversy over "the breast is best." Breast milk is only best because it gives the mothers immunity to the child...Meaning it helps the child develop antibodies and etc that the mother has built up.
But on the other hand...Sometimes mothers aren't so healthy...Such as aids and etc that don't make breast milk a good choice.
But the whole deal about children being smarter and etc. The only thing that formula doesn't contain besides the mother antibodies is fatty acids.
And by the time children come to age two or three...studies show that breastfeed babies aren't smarter than formula feed babies. Which knocks that whole hypothesis that breastfeed babies are smarter.
But someone mentioned something about working. Are you a man? Just wondering, if not there's no reason why you haven't heard of a breastpump is it? Seriously, I'm not trying to be funny. Because little man's dad never heard of a pump either. A working mother can pump her milk at work, home, driving the car and etc and store it in the fridge. Also, did you know that you can freeze breast milk for a couple of months.
I considered at one point trying to breast feed my son. But he was traumatized at birth...I was in labor for 26hrs w/ no painkillers. Anyways, I was expecting pain like on tv you know like somebody ripping your insides out. So I wasn't calling the nurses every minute on the minute like most people. Well I had to have an emergency c-section because the contractions were so severe that they caused his heart to stop. My point is when he was born he didn't want to suck. So it took him like a week to suck...So he was on special formula and they had to see how much milk he was getting.
Besides that milk hurts...That's the only thing about pregnancy and labor that bothered me was that milk. Before I got pregnant I was a 34B when the milk came in I was 40DD it took a while for my breast to get down to 36C.
Oh yeah they say breastmilk helps you lose weight faster...But not that much. I know some people that getter bigger because they claim they have to eat more for the baby.
