Absolutely... I really enjoy asking expectant and breastfeeding mothers:
What were you told you would need, and didn't?
I have used different variations over the years (and often learned
something new!) and I think my next one might be: What did you see ads
for this week that you and your baby didn't really need?
In fact, because I am living on limited means, it is such a joy to look
at ads, catalogues, web pages etc. and to see how little stuff we really
need. Breastfeeding: simple abundance at its most abundant...
Breastfeeding: giving more living on less
Breastfeeding: all you really need is attached to you :-)
