When I became pregnant I instantly started researching information on the pros and cons of breastfeeding. I had information from various articles, information from pediatricians, my ob/
gyn, and other mothers. I came to the conclusion that it was definitely something that I should give a fair shot at. When my little one was born, I was instructed by the nurse how to start nursing my baby. At that very moment, it felt awkward to whip out my boob to tell you the truth. But when my baby latched on, it was a moment of bonding. I knew after everything that I had learned from all of my research how great this 'liquid gold' was for my newborn baby. I would like to share with you some of my research that I think every expecting mother should know.
