Subject: MY top 5 reasons to breastfeed...
Content: My baby is now two weeks from her first birthday--wow!! Two weeks ago I have completely stopped breastfeeding (she basically was weaning herself, so I just went along with it.) After 11 months of nursing, I was also ready to be done. We all know the benefits of breastfeeding that doctors and books tell us, but I have the top 5 (okay 6) things I miss about it (and these are not in order of importance, just as they come to mind): 1. You never run out of milk--and its always fresh. I have found now that we are doing formula that I will be down to the last few scoops and not have enough for the morning feeding. Yikes--now I have to run to the market with pajamas on so I don't have to go in the morning. Never had to think about that before! 2. Washing all those damn bottles, nipples, air ventilation components...what a bitch! My hands are dry and wrinkly now... 3. Calorie burner--I could eat extra calories and they would disappear. It's the best diet in the world! Now I will have to get off my ass and exercise... 4. I haven't had to use a tampon in two years! 5. Its FREE!! 6. This one's a bonus for all you "green" girls--its all natural and Eco-Friendly!!
