Oh, here I go again!

Just got my dad on board with breastfeeding! 1 down 500,000 to go! My family's never been against me breastfeeding but they've never really supported me. He was in disbelief when I told him all the benefits of breastfeeding, he kept saying "why don't they hang that on the doors of hospitals, WOW, I never knew any of that." I think that's how half of America feels and if I can teach one person at a time about the benefits of breastfeeding I WILL! I should rename this blog "MB's obsession with breastfeeding" since it's pretty much all I talk about :)

Like many other mother's out there I've had some issues with breastfeeding.. pain, always worrying if I'm producing enough, distractable baby, but my main on-going issue was dairy. I went dairy free (no milk, soy, cheese, honestly I could go on for hrs on what I couldn't eat) for 8 months, BB's now handling dairy much better! My sister one day asked me "why do you do that, why give that up to breastfeed?" My response, "it's the least I can do!"

When we would visit our families in STL we were out all the time so feeding BB became hard to do in private. There were a few very uncomfortable moments with my parents parked in the car. I would get in back and feed BB, my parents would stare out the window, car off, no radio, scared to look anywhere in the car in fear that they'd catch a glimpse of boob! I just hate how uncomfortable the world makes something so natural feel.

I think it's so funny that people drink cows milk daily but still have issues with human milk...need I say more??!!??

I need start a campaign for breastfeeding :)

Ok, I'm done, for now!
