I worked on others' ideas a bit and here is what I ended up with, a pithy word, unpacked a bit, and then some more.: Five Good Reasons to Breastfeed 1. Normal – gives baby the chance to develop physically, emotionally and socially to his/her best potential: face, speech, no loss of IQ. And mom gets to fulfil this part of her reproductive cycle 2. Healthy – diseases of artificial feeding prevented, and provides protection against infections and allergies; healthy for mother too: baby avoids the greater risk of gastroenteritis, pneumonia, malnutrition, necrotizing enterocolitis, hayfever, asthma, eczema, leukaemia, Crohns disease, and mom avoids increasing her risk of osteoporosis, breast and ovarian cancer. 3. Economic – saves a fortune for the family, not to mention the planet: mom needs a few more calories than when she was pregnant, avoids adding to the destruction of earth’s resources entailed in making and disposing of artificial substitutes. 4. Enjoyable – nature makes this a pleasurable experience for baby and mother: hormones help mom relax and enjoy the closeness of the baby, making it easier to build an intimate loving relationship. 5. Convenient – once established, so easy just to connect the baby to this miraculous resource: no purchasing, measuring, mixing, washing, sterilising bother. *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
