Many years ago there was a thread on Lactnet about why LC's had chosen to
breastfeed their first child.  Many women wrote in to share their thoughts,
ideas, and memories.  As I recall, it was decided that most of us chose to
breastfeed for reasons that had more to do with the "mom" than the "baby".
We started breastfeeding because it was easier, or we wanted to lose weight,
or we wanted bigger breasts, or whatever.  Of course, the health benefits
for the baby were also important.  But even we, who would eventually become
LC's, chose to breastfeed for ourselves.
