I have been on the fence about breast feeding because my mom hated it so much. She never breast fed my brothers or my sister. But after reading this article, I just can't say no! Those are some very important benefits and I will definitely be breast feeding! Thanks for this article. I have been on the fence about breast feeding because my mom hated it so much.
