Dedicated to Joshua, without whom I never would have learned about nursing. This page was started to provide information and support for mothers who choose to breastfeed their children, and to change the minds of those who don't. This is merely a service created by a mom for other moms, and for those interested in increasing awareness as to the benefits of nursing. Nursing can help you lose weight, prevent cancer, and nurture your self-esteem. It can minimize post-partum bleeding, helps the uterus return to its pre-birth size quicker, and it can help foster mothering instincts. Nursing requires no bottles, no warming, no mixing, and no buying of formula. It is inexpensive and easy. Nursing is best for your baby. It provides him or her with essential nutrients, antibodies, and the correct ammount of fats. It helps to prevent allergies and diarrhea. Breastfed babies are less likely to get ear infections, to be sick in general, or die of SIDS. You do not need a special wardrobe to nurse. You do not need to toughen your nipples. And more than 95% of all women are capable of establishing an adequate milk supply. It is nature's perfect food, and it is intended for babies.
