Motherhood & Pregnancy
A friend of mine, who’s giving birth to twins in a couple of days/weeks, is planning to breastfeed her babies. She’s a busy career woman, but she thought she’d give it a try. I’m proud of her as I’m proud of all the other moms out there who decided to breastfeed their babies. Sure, it can be painful at first, but it’s a true act of love. Breastmilk is a gift to your child and you should give it to her for as long as you can. You don’t have to compete with heavily lactating moms who are able to breastfeed for 2 years (and use a breast pump every 2 hours or so). Just breastfeed for as long as you have enough milk coming from your breasts.
Many women are reluctant to breastfeed because they are not properly informed about the benefits of breastfeeding. If you think you’re one of them, you might want to read articles from these helpful sites:

- Breastfeeding.com - http://www.breastfeeding.com/
- L.A.T.C.H. - http://www.theperfectlatch.com/
