Breastfeeding

However you feel about breastfeeding, it's worth getting all the facts before you make the all-important decision whether or not to do it. If you do choose to take the plunge, bear these common-sense steps in mind first.

Why breastfeed? Well, there's the argument that Nature knows best and that breastfeeding ensures your baby gets the ideal food. What's more, breast milk is always available and doesn't require special equipment or preparation. It also helps your uterus to return to its normal size as quickly as possible (so you get closer to fitting into those skinny jeans again). In addition, you may, like many women, find it enjoyable and a bonding experience for you and your baby.
