I love Breastfeeding! It's 1:06a.m. and I am lying in bed nursing my two month old daughter. We both sleep better when we co-sleep and nursing in bed helps make this possible.

Breastfeeding is such a nurturing experience. It's a short sacrifice that has so many health and emotional benefits for both mom and baby. You should nurse for at least a year if possible. With my son I did it for six months and this time I would like to continue for a year. I may not be able to go out for cocktails for awhile but, like I said it is a short sacrifice with many benefits.

One of the cute quirks of breastfed babies is the rooting reflex. It's so adorable to see this innate characteristic in babies. It was one of the fond memories I had of nursing my son and am experiencing again with my surprise blessing - my new baby girl.

Breastfeeding is convenient. For the most part. Milk is always warm and ready. Breastfeeding around others can make it feel inconvenient unless that doesn't bother you or you're comfortable covering up by using a nursing cover or blanket.
