I couldn't sleep because this just popped into my head. I am planning on doing a scrap page of bfing and using this in it. Its the first thing i've been inspired to write in a LONG time. I might make a blinkie of the last four lines...

Breastfeeding is an Act of Love

It takes determination; the firmest resolution
that only the very best will do.
It takes courage; perserverance through the physical demands
and the social challenges
It is not a slight thing
to possess such an ability;
to be designed to fill so many needs
and nurture in so many ways
To carry with us a blessing
for the future of a child

Breastfeeding is an Act of Love

It takes a strong and willing heart;
an unselfish motivation
to recognize and act upon
your body's primal purpose.
It is an irreplaceable gift
to both a mother and a child
It is your right, your responsibility,
your deepest, purest privelege

Breastfeeding is an act of Love

Too resolute for formula
Too strong to give up
From my heart to my son...
Breastfeeding is an Act of Love.

WDYT???

That was beautiful ,especially the above!
A few days ago when I thought my supply wasnt enough and that Id have to suppliment,I decided to do so at night before Noelia went to bed.I did it ONCE and couldent do it again...it was way to hard to give up even that one feeding.
I agree that once you start,its VERY hard to give up.I remember thinking "I´ll do it for a couple of months",but by the end of day one,I had decided to let Noelia self wean

To be able to BF is the most beautiful experience EVER.I really do think its a gift,but not only from me to Noelia,but from Noelia to me too.I dont think Iv ever looked forward to feeding my baby as much as I do now
