Breastfeeding also gives you more time to spend with your baby. Breastfeeding is something special only you are able to share with your baby. Some might find this as selfish or some might think they couldn’t emotionally handle being the only one able to feed baby. However, I see this as a special, beautiful experience only you can give your child. Someday when your child is grown and doesn’t need you to thrive, you will look back on these special moments that only you and your child could share with each other.

My breast pump is like my best friend, without it I wouldn’t be able to leave my child for more than a couple hours. The great …show more content…
Not enough women have the support or information they need to breastfeed. Breastfeeding may be natural, but it may not be as easy and natural as some might think. Breastfeeding can be hard, painful, and frustrating. I believe a lot of mothers switch to formula because of these simple reasons. A lot of the time when mothers switch to formula they think something isn’t right when breastfeeding and there isn’t support there to help them through their problem. More support through health care providers need to be available and more of an acceptance among our civilization in general. The only way there will be more women breastfeeding is if it’s more …show more content…
Our many focus should be not on how your feeding you’re baby but, on the mother and child’s well being. It shouldn’t matter how you do it, breast or bottle. Yes breast is best, but not everyone is capable of breastfeeding and that is why there is formula. What should really matter is that you made the choice to do what is best for yourself and your baby. People should stop judging each other due to how they feed their child or what they view as acceptable or not. Breastfeeding is the best nutrition you can give your child, but not everyone is able to breastfeed and that shouldn’t be frowned upon. Everyone has the same goal: to be the best parent to his or her child. Neither should be shamed, and more support should be given to both breastfeeding and bottle-feeding mothers.
All mothers should be comfortable feeding their baby, no matter how it’s being done. A nursing mother shouldn’t feel confined to her own home because of fears of what other people are going to think, and a bottle-feeding mother shouldn’t feel guilty for not

Nutrition and breastfeeding are essential parts of the nursing mother. It is essential because without it we would have a world with sick, underdeveloped, malnutritioned, and untrusting individuals. Fortunately breastfeeding gets rid of all these extremities. Feeding from the breast is something that protects not only the mother, but the baby too. There is nothing else in the world like it. Some nutrients in it are only found in a human body. What else could a mother ask for? All the diseases that are easily acquired by a defenseless organism of a baby are now stoppable because of the mother's natural resistant and supplier of necessary material. That resistant and material is breast milk.
There are so many more perks to breastfeeding as opposed to formula feeding. Mothers are not educated enough prior to giving birth and they sometimes feel it is just easier to formula feed. A lot of hospitals are quick to just give a newborn a formula bottle if a mother is unsure how she wants to feed or if she is afraid to breastfeed just because she is unsure how. I think more mothers would
...fits to both mother and baby. Some mother’s choice to bottle-feed for many different reasons, but it is not for the midwives to force or guilt trip women into the way she should fed, even though the midwife knows that breast-feeding would be better for mother and baby. She will have to guide and support the women in question on what choice they choose to feed their baby.
Breastfeeding is when a woman feeds her child from her breast. Breastfeeding has been around since before the 15th century. In addition to strengthening the bond between a mother and her baby, breastfeeding offers a number of benefits for both a mother and her child. Babies who are breastfed have lower risk of meningitis, various cancers, diabetes, respiratory illnesses, bacterial and viral infections, childhood leukemia, allergies and obesity. Mothers have a reduced risk of breast and ovarian cancer, as well as osteoporosis. All mothers no matter where they are weather it be the mall, park, restaurant, or just out running errands need to have their right to breastfeed protected.
Women who are not afraid to do what their body is naturally meant to do and do not care what other people think are very admirable. Breastfeeding is beautiful and normal, and women should not be criticized when they need to do it. Although it may make one uncomfortable at times, breastfeeding in public causes no harm. Society should begin to accept public breastfeeding and see it as it is; completely harmless. Next time you see a mother nursing her baby, do not judge her. Instead, think of how healthy and strong that baby is going to be and what a beautiful bond they are

Breastfeeding is convenient. Breast milk is always available at the correct temperature and costs nothing.
Breastfeeding is a highly debated topic amongst mothers across the world. Every mother has the choice to breastfeed or bottle fed their infant. Although everyone is entitled to their own opinion and choice, it is scientifically proven that breast milk is more beneficial for the infant’s health and development and the mother. Breast milk contains extremely beneficial vitamins and nutrients and also has the ability to change according to the infant’s growth and development.

With the arrival of a newborn, parents are immediately faced with myriad of decisions. Should they use cloth or store-bought diapers, co-sleeping or a crib, and what parent gets what shift during the night are just a few. However, one of the most important and more personal choices is between a formula based diet or breastfeeding for their baby to receive his or her required nourishment.

Breastfeeding is not only the most natural way to provide nutrition for a baby it’s also the most complete way. These benefits do not only benefit the baby, but they benefit the mother as well.
Similarly to the previous article, the authors found a men 's opinion toward breastfeeding hosted a significant association between a mother 's choice to breast, or bottle feed her infant. Like mothers, a strong correlation between social conditions, including ethnicity, country of origin, education, and socioeconomic status, was found to have a sizeable impact on the father 's opinion of feeding method. This study, like many others, confirmed that breastfeeding ideals are often formed long before conception. Increasing the focus of breastfeeding to men and women alike through the use of the media, high school curriculums, and programs such as WIC could help make breastfeeding acceptance more widely spread across multi cultures, and also promote it as a socially acceptable
During one of my shifts on postpartum I was helping a nurse look after a mom with her first baby. She really wanted to be able to breastfeed but she was having a lot of troubles getting her baby to latch on. It was a Saturday and there was no lactation consultant working who could come in to help her.

After each attempt at breastfeeding and being unsuccessful, the mom would look very upset. The nurse tried to help her by showing her different breastfeeding positions and techniques and teaching her to express her milk and put it in the baby’s mouth. The
