Why breast feed....
There are so many reasons to breast feed that benefit both mom and baby. I mean where else can you get a 300+ calorie burner without lifting a finger? Not that nursing is easy but once you get the hang of it, it's not so bad. That's not to say that the process is not demanding and frustrating. It can sometimes feel as though you are a cow in a factory and all you do is pump and feed but, it's all worth it in the long run.
Not to mention some of the hidden benefits. Now I am not sure whether anyone else has used breast feeding in this way, but, when you are a new mom, you can really feel as though all you do is pump. But when do you get time to hold and bond with your baby when you are not feeding? It seems like family, friends and dad get to have all the fun.
Well here's a tip. If you have a room full of family members, friends or otherwise and you are in desperate need to hold your baby, or, if you don't like the way someone is holding, touching or kissing your baby all over their precious new face. Take a "breast feeding" break. It's better than having to offend someone, especially your mother or someone else close. This way no one gets offended, and you can spend a few quiet moments locked away for some special bonding time.
