I miss breastfeeding.

My Dad breastfed from my grandmother until he was around 4 years old, and occassionally until five. He has several diseases - diabetes, COPD, Congestive Heart Failure, emphysema - but amazingly, he is still strong. His tenacity to live amazes me. He’s not even bed ridden. I’d like to think part of that is the immunity he got from his Mom. He was born large - 14lbs - I kid you not - so diabetes was really in his future. His doctors told him he was lucky he developed diabetes late already - he was 55.

I would definitely recommend breastfeeding to all mothers, even for those who do not have enough milk. I attempted to reorient Martha to nurse from me because she was still interested when she sees my b**bies but being at work is a hindrance (out of sight, out of mind).

Knowledge is power. Perseverance is the key. Dont hesitate to seek out support from breastfeeding communities. Goodluck mommies :)

    How adorable! I laugh about this co’z I have a boy and he does the same lol. But I am glad he is more interested in playing cars and building blocks than messing up my shoes all day. Nice scrap!
