Breastfeeding

Why am I so passionate about breastfeeding? Well, I am amazed at how God created our bodies to bear and feed our babies. The more I learn about breast milk and breastfeeding in general, the more amazed I am. I certainly do not want to put moms down for using formula. I’ve had to use it. It is definitely a viable feeding option. I’m not a “Lactavist” who believes that formula is poison. I definitely feel that breast milk is best as science has proven, but I will not put down another mom for how she chooses to feed her babies. I have been criticized no matter how I have fed my son: nursing, formula feeding, bottle feeding breast milk – someone always has something negative to say. It’s time to stop tearing each other down as moms and it’s time to support each other in this difficult job called motherhood.

As I learned more about breastfeeding, I was amazed at how much wrong information is out there – even given by doctors. I want to take this little corner of the internet to put some correct information out there. If you have any questions, myths, or stories that you’d like to share, please email me at rediscoveringdomesticity @ gmail.com. I love featuring guest content and guest posts!
