As we celebrate Breastfeeding Awareness Month, I thought
it would be neat to read what it’s like for a first time mom, braving the world
of breastfeeding for the first time. I
asked our alumni moms to share their experiences with me. Today’s post
is from
“This month is
Breastfeeding Awareness Month. The breastfeeding
campaign, funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, hopes to
empower women to commit to breastfeeding by highlighting new research showing
that babies who are exclusively breastfed for six months are less likely to
develop ear infections, diarrhea and respiratory illnesses, and may be less
likely to develop childhood obesity.”
