It also helps you build a stronger bond with your kids because they are comfortable when you are comfortable.

Why breastfeeding is best for you and your baby

We have all always been told that breast is best for our baby's for multiple reasons but it is not always the best for every new mother. Here are some things to consider when you are trying to decide whether or not you want to breastfeed your baby.

For mom:

Breastfeeding is said to reduce the risk of breast cancer.
It can help you get back to your pre-pregnancy shape quicker due to burning more calories.
As a mom, you will never have to worry about your breastmilk being recalled due to contamination.
It is FREE! Formula is expensive so you will save time and money at the store by breastfeeding at home.
It is convenient because it never has to be prepared. You can easily find a spot whereever you are to nurse your baby without having to sterilize a bottle, mix the formula, warm it etc.

For baby:

Breastmilk is by mom especially for your baby and it is full of nutrients that can not truly be duplicated by cow's milk or formula.
It is easy for baby to digest. Some babies have dificulty with formula but it is rare with breastmilk.
Your baby will stay at a fairly healthy weight rather than gain weight to quickly off of formula.
Breastmilk contains DHA which is a brain-building fatty acid that is said to boost brain development.
Breastmilk helps baby fight off infections

Remember, just because you nurse does not mean that you have to do every feeding on your own. You can always pump your milk into a bottle so your spouse or a sibling can help you feed the new baby.
