You may have thought of these, but some mothers are surprised by them. Interesting reasons to breastfeed:
- stools don't smell foul
- spit up and stools don't stain clothes and diapers as much
- no worries about not having a bottle if you want to spend more time away from home or errands take more time
- savings on sanitary pads and tampons because cycles are delayed
- we have a lot of power failures here, so not having to find a source of heat or water is appreciated
- quickest and most effective way to soothe a baby who is ill or in pain
- my favourite is dream-sleeping: hardly waking up for nighttime feedings if baby is kept nearby
