First Post!

Hello everyone! This is my first post here at Blogger.

Breastfeeding is very important to me and i feel it is important to get the message out there that it is really the best, healthiest way to feed your baby. Breastfeeding provides a host of benefits to both the mother and the child.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has issued a policy statement that strongly supports breastfeeding. Now, the AAP has joined a long list of organizations, including the World Health Organization that strongly support breastfeeding.
Some of the benefits to baby include:
Fewer ear infections
Protects against Asthma
Protects against MS
Higher IQ
Fewer allergies
Breastfed babies are sweeter smelling and have less constipation

Benefits for mom:
A closer bond with baby
No heating up or preparing formula
Protects against breast cancer
Protects against post partum depression.

In my next blog i will be talking about formula and how very unlike breastmilk it really is.

Thanks for reading!
