What I love about breastfeeding

my totally breastfed babies pooped EVERY single nappy!

Seriously?? My little girl poops like every 2-4 days and I'm jumping for joy every time she does cause I still get paranoid about feeding her enough. Haha kind of something silly to get excited about.

My breastfed babies both pooped almost every diaper as well until they were about 5-months-old when it was less and then they started on some solids soon after that. Some babies gorge themselves on breastmilk and have a lot of excess so they poop more. I think this also might be related to Cara's heavy milk flow--her babies were getting a lot of milk!
 
So wish breastfeeding had been a ticket to being period-free. It wasn't for me. "Aunt Flo" showed back up before my daughter was 6 weeks old!
 
I love being able to just lay down in bed with my baby on my arm breastfeeding and reading! Plus I get to stay in bed a lot :-)
And the fact the the breast solves all problems and need for comfort( like when baby had a fall, is tired, upset or simply just wants to munch)
Plus all the things that have been added before
 
Love the brightened eyes and smirk when my babies see me unhook the bra and reveal their meal.
Love that satisfactory smile at the end of nursing.
And the fact that my kids, especially the preschooler, doesn't get sick like her fellow classmates.

I think this is the funniest thing in the world when my daughter sees "the goods" and starts saying, "mum mum mum mum mum mum mum" and sometimes whining. She acts like she hasn't been fed in ages! Even if I'm only switching to the other side and she just had a huge meal she will still act like she just can't wait a second longer. It's hilarious!
 
we have a photo book by LLL. It has beautiful photos of mothers breastfeeding their babies. One day, at about 8 months old, our daughter pulled it off the shelf, flipped it and gasped! she actually smacked her lips, tried to suckle these pictures that have breasts in close up shots, some leaking with milk. she still does that and giggles. i find that most surprising and funny.

My second only pooped every 2-3 days as well, but my first could go up to 12 days without a poop!! I took her to the doctor over it so many times and turned out she just has a slow little system. When she did poop it was such a HUGE relief for me and perfectly normal and healthy... Poop for her. ;-)
