Mom's need to be educated & have all the information before they give birth & the support after to be successfull. I had a hard time with my son & if I hadn't been determined to breastfeed I would have given up like a lot of mom's I know. My son is a very happy breastfead baby and at 2.5 yrs old it doesn't look like he will be giving it up anytime soon. It's the only thing that sooths him when he's sick, teething or upset, I don't have to worry about him getting dehydrated when he's ill. When he's not feeling well & doesn't eat much I know he's getting his nurishment. He's rarely ever sick & is very healthy. It's so important and it makes me sad that so many mom's quit because of lack of information or lack of support especially from medical professionals, family members or husbands. At the first sign of any problem many Doctors are too quick to switch to formula and abandon breasfeeding & for everyone I know it only made the problem worse. [Topic]
