This is World Breastfeeding Week, so I'm going to share some of my favorite breastfeeding related info here. If you don't like boobies or are sensitive to hearing things about breasts, then move on, nothing for you to see here. Otherwise, Yeah for Mommies Milk!
First of all, an awesome article on the wonders of breast milk and how it helps develop protections in an immature baby gut. Breast Milk Sugars Give Infants a Protective Coat from the NY Times.
Dr. Jennifer Thomas has a great commentary she wrote on breast milk, childbirth, snuggling, and what behavior is normal for a brand new human baby. Love it. The Normal Newborn
And a video... and yes, not for the prudish. Nothing pictured there offensive, but I know some people that might be "SHOCKED" or have a Church Lady moment.
St Francis Hospital has a card you can carry that states it is legal to breastfeed in public in SC. Apparently some people have had someone say something to them. With my other 2, I NEVER breastfed anywhere except home or a closed up room; but this time, with 2 older ones, you gotta do what you gotta do! In addition to all of the health benefits, it is such a sweet experience and so special that I can provide something for him that no one else can!
