I wasn't able to breastfeed my first, but I've been successful with my second daughter. It has helped speed the bonding between us, and I enjoy our moments together. I hope to breastfeed her at least through her first year.

My first 2 babies, I tried and gave up. Now that I have successfully nursed the other 5, I really wish I'd given it another go with the first two. Great article!

I'm currently breastfeeding my 11 month old. I really love it, too, because if she were bottle fed, she'd be too busy to ever let me hold her. At least this way, she HAS to let me snuggle her long enough for a feeding.

Great info - and I agree with Mother Road, I think the best part about it is when it forces me to slow down and just sit for a few minutes - I love that time!

i knew long before i became pregnant that i would breastfeed. i was lucky enough to be able to stay home, but wish i had more support. my mother-in-law had some very out-dated and often hurtful comments, but i learned to rely on what i knew was right for me and my baby - not easy since we lived with mil at the time. time does seem to stand still while breastfeeding, an almost transcendent experience.

I nursed both of my children. There's a pretty tough learning curve, and support is essential, but once you get it figured out you'll wonder how to function any other way.
Once I sat down to nurse, I was forced to slow down and enjoy my baby, and that really was the best thing about it (plus I always had food for them, even when traveling!)
