Too lazy for bottles

To be honest, I can be pretty lazy when it comes to food.

I've grown to love my crock pot and hope my kids ask for cereal in the morning.

So breastfeeding to me, was a winning choice.

It was never really a choice.  I never questioned it.  Breastfeeding was just what you did.  That's how babies eat.

So when my oldest didn't latch (and I didn't realize it- because I was just exploding milk so I thought she had to be eatting), I didn't understand and I was heartbroken.

Looking back, I gave up to easily.  But I didn't know there were resources. 

Lactation consultants and Le Leche League are big helps.

With my second and third I was able to successfully breastfeed.  Yay!  Every day was an accomplishment.

Truth is, I'm too lazy for bottles.  Getting up to make bottles, and making sure I pack enough.  

And it's expensive.  I read it costs about $2000 for one year of formula feeding.

I am too lazy, too broke for that.

Breastfeed milk is magic milk.  Really.

 

Not to mention, helps drop that post baby weight!

Plus the health benefits to baby.

And it really creates such a bond between mother and baby.

(I understand there are legitimate reasons some mothers can not.  And all mothers are good mothers no matter how they feed their babies.)
