Are you for breast feeding? I am. I think it's not only the way to give to your child immunity and suchlike, but it's a great opportunity for both mother and child to feel each other's love and warmth. Do you agree with me?

Absolutley!! I am the mom of four kiddos. Ages, 5,4 and 2 1/2 year-old twins. I nursed my two older children until about 18 months,and the twin girls I am still nursing them to sleep at bedtime and naptime. I think it is a wonderful investment in their long term health,it also has been such a comfort to all my children. The experience of bonding with them through nursing is a priceless gift to the mother and child.

I think it all depends on your milk supply.Check with your doctor..I don't think restarting should be a problem. There are supplements available that help you increase your milk supply. Good luck to you and the baby!!!

When I was pregnant with my son I had said I would not do this. But once I did it was so awesome. it was so much bonding and special that I looked forward to it at each feeding. it is great for the Mother and very healthy for the child.

I had the same feelings every time I fed my son. I was looking forward to the next time and sometimes after he already finished to eat and fell asleep with my teat in his mouth, I used to sit more and enjoy these minutes... Thank you :)
