Good for you for trusting your mama instincts about nursing...no matter what anyone says (or doesn't say) to you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10950605728434169576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108221103188891546.post-33311926087398288632010-07-14T22:22:48.218-06:002010-07-14T22:22:48.218-06:00One side note.

BUT, if they knew the word booby, I would have been mortified!The Weems Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010884397530057352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108221103188891546.post-28917212562796778932010-07-14T09:06:13.099-06:002010-07-14T09:06:13.099-06:00I always think it is interesting peoples takes on ...I always think it is interesting peoples takes on nursing. Some cultures only nurse on one side, others until they are 5 years old, some think that Mama's milk is not enough to sustain life past a certain age (say 3-4 months). Even others say that nursing promotes: waking at night time, over-attachment to parents, or my least favorite-that it is the Mama's emotional problem not wanting the child to grow up. Very interesting.<br /><br />But now the blessings! That the skin-to-skin contact creates folds in the brain that help the child develop, and the eye-to-eye contact teaches the child to comunicate, That nursing can delay or prevent alltogether disease in the colon, it promotes good bacteria in the intestines that stay there for the childs entire life, etc... And that is just the child! <br />The Mama benefits with a lower rate of breast cancer. Also, when the relaxin hormone is produced, over time, it actually becomes an automatic behavior to the mother. Studies have shown the longer a women nurses, the more relaxed she will be in stressful situations in the future. Maybe this is God's way of helping Mama's with bigger families! <br /><br />Keep on and smile! Can you imagine if you ever decided to ask a women giving a bottle if she was still using formula!?!

I love the line, "If you had your baby peeing in a toilet at 3 weeks, you can lecture me on nursing. Shazaam!" That was awesome, and so NOT you, which is what makes it awesome. It's awesome to see you act so confidently on something you feel passionate about, because I know that at heart, you are a people pleaser and it isn't easy to do things that you know others will scoff at. I mean, it just isn't. So the fact that you DO it because you truly believe it's best, and you don't let others thoughts stop you is what I think is so damn admirable.<br /><br />Shazaam!<br /><br />I love the Zor quotes too. I think there should be more of those in this blog, especially now that she's putting sentences together!Rachel @ Lautaret Bohemiethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00386970771824268791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108221103188891546.post-28376932068416625592010-07-08T10:57:22.250-06:002010-07-08T10:57:22.250-06:00Lori lori lori!

Plus seriously she almost was talking out of the womb can you imagine if I didn't nurse because she asked? Sheesh. Way to keep trucking my friend.
