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!!
