I breastfed both my boys for the first few months. I loved it!!! The bond was so important to me.

I breastfed my son for awhile. I almost quit because of the bruising and bleeding but it didn't last long and the breastfeeding turned out good. I will tell you that it will hurt no matter what when you start but the pain doesn't last long (a couple weeks at the most) and then you won't feel anything but a tug. It saves a lot of money and helps you lose weight not to mention it's great for the baby. You don't have to worry about packing bottles and extra formula when you go out...All you need is a boob!

Wow I am so glad that I didnt' have bleeding and brusing. I had a little soreness in the beginning but it only lasted about two weeks and thenwe were good to go. I love it. .Melia is 13 weeks now and I am still doing it.

My son is 7 months, im still breastfeeding him. Like michelle said, it really helps you bond with the baby. I found it painful on the second day, so I used vaseline before and after most feeds which worked really well! It stops the nipple from getting sore at all. You should research the benefits of breastfeeding, theres a lot! I think everyone should breastfeed if they can.
