Breast feeding offers many benefits to your baby. Breast milk contains the right balance of nutrients to help your infant grow into a strong and healthy toddler. Some of the nutrients in breast milk also help protect your infant against some common childhood illnesses and infections. It may also help your health. Certain types of cancer may occur less often in mothers who have breastfed their babies.

Women who don't have health problems should try to give their babies breast milk for at least the first six months of life. There are some cases when it's better not to breast feed. If you have HIV or active tuberculosis, you should not breast feed because you could give the infection to your baby. Certain medicines, illegal drugs, and alcohol can also pass through the breast milk and cause harm to your baby.

I mean they have episodes that seem to be against breast feeding, healthfood nuts and envoronmentalists. I understand there are extremes in all groups and beliefs, but they just seem one sided. For example, they had this episode where this mom starved her babies and they seemed to blame it on breast feeding advocates acting like they are a hippy cult. I am not a mother, but unless milk is dried out, if breast milk is avaialbe, I have heard sucking in a natural reflex, plus it seems breast feed

My Health Visitor suggested I start supplementing with a few ounces of formula per day as my baby had only put on 3oz in 2 weeks. He was 8lb at birth and is now 10lb 13oz at 14 weeks.

Resolved Question: Do missed periods protect against breast cancer? (Wed, 18 Jan 2012 23:20:25 GMT)
I know there's a link between pregnancy / breast feeding and lower rates of breast cancer, because being pregnant and breast feeding stop the menstrual cycle, and the hormones from that cycle can, over time, contribute to breast cancer. So I wondered, if a woman missed a significant amount of periods through anorexia or being athletic, would this protect her too? I know anorexia has its own serious health problems, but if a woman missed, for example, 30 periods due to anorexia (or athleticism

Resolved Question: My baby will be one week old tomorrow and I very much wish to breastfeed...? (Wed, 04 Jan 2012 05:58:48 GMT)
However, due to a difficult childbirth experience she wasn't able to drink from my breast right away, and the nurses fed her formula from a bottle. She is in perfect health (scored a 9 on the Apgar), but never had an opportunity to latch on properly. When I pump only a small spot of liquid comes from my breast. I'm assuming my milk hasn't come in, and at this point probably won't. I pump every time she bottle feeds in the hopes my breasts will start working. She WILL suckle if I use a nipple s
