I breastfed both my boys for the first few
months. I loved it!!! The bond was so
important to me.

I breastfed my son for awhile. I almost
quit because of the bruising and bleeding
but it didn't last long and the
breastfeeding turned out good. I will
tell you that it will hurt no matter what
when you start but the pain doesn't last
long (a couple weeks at the most) and then
you won't feel anything but a tug. It
saves a lot of money and helps you lose
weight not to mention it's great for the
baby. You don't have to worry about
packing bottles and extra formula when you
go out...All you need is a boob!

Wow I am so glad that I didnt' have
bleeding and brusing. I had a little
soreness in the beginning but it only
lasted about two weeks and thenwe were
good to go. I love it. .Melia is 13
weeks now and I am still doing it.

My son is 7 months, im still breastfeeding
him. Like michelle said, it really helps
you bond with the baby. I found it
painful on the second day, so I used
vaseline before and after most feeds which
worked really well! It stops the nipple
from getting sore at all. You should
research the benefits of breastfeeding,
theres a lot! I think everyone should
breastfeed if they can.
