must do!

Omg! Ladies if u are on the fence about breastfeeding ur baby I want to say.. IT IS SO WORTH IT! Yes it hurts at first but if u push past it u will find out that not only is it GREAT for ur baby, but u will also dramatically lose weight! I had my lil man 10 days ago and I already have lost 20 lbs!!!!! And im not even trying. I try to ea.  Healthy for the baby but lets be honest.. I still pig out on junk. Anyway.. my point is.. its amazing and u should at least try it before going straight to formula <3

I lost 26lbs in 11 days breastfeeding, eating junk and sitting around all day (imagine what I'd lose if I didn't eat junk and sit around all day, really have to try to stop that haha!) I love it, my daughter is 3 weeks old today and EBF and I love it!

Its so much easier I formula fed my daughter and always had to make sure I had enough formula. I could nt go on trips cuz I didn't have a travel bottle warmer and I once ran out of formula for her during a snow storm and almost had a heart attack lol with breast feeding ive never felt so free. And yes im also going to pump.. my hubby really wants to feed him <3

That is wonderful that it is making you lose weight so fast. I never paid any attention to my weight when i had my son but i look at the pics and i was super skinny a month after having him. I am hoping it will be the same after i have my daughter. I breast fed with my son and def will with my daughter. I cant stand people quitting bc they say it is too much work. I can understand medical reasons but just bc it is hard is not a reason. It is the best thing you can do for your baby and for yourself. And if you want to give bottles so family members can feed too then pump! I gave breast milk to my son till he was 9 months and only stopped then bc i stopped producing bc getting off schedule so bad but hoping to give my daughter breast milk for atleast that long hoping longer.
