Everybody knows that breastfeeding is the best bet for babies. Not only that, it also saves money cause it's FREE! It also saves time. Instead of washing and sterilizing bottles you can just sit down, put your feet up and relax every few hours to nurse. But the best thing of all is that it helps moms to lose the pounds of pregnancy! I gained about 50 lbs with Erika and and I breastfed her for only two months so I didn't really lose anything (didn't even believe that breasfeeding helps mom lose weight). With Nathan, I gained more than 20 lbs and have been breastfeeding for four months now. We went to Nathan's four month well check up the other day and I weighed myself. Are you ready for this? I weighed 118 LBS!!! That was just 3 lbs more than before I had Erika. That was AWESOME!!! So now all my clothes are too big and I have to wear belt all the time. I was complaining about it to Jon and guess what he said? My darling husband said, Why don't you go shopping for new clothes?! Oh my gosh! I love him! I didn't even had to tell him that I need new clothes that fit me. He was smart! :)
So for all pregant ladies out there, might wanna consider breastfeeding. It really is best!

Husbands are awesome when they say nice stuff like that. I love breastfeeding if not for that reason alone. I gained about 50 lbs with each of my kids and lost it all just like that because of the breastfeeding. I even had more cravings while nursing Luke than I did while pregnant and I STILL lost all the baby weight. That's awesome for you though!!
Thanks Daisy! Why can't our husbands be like that all the time? I didn't think I'd like it this much with Nathan. I didn't really like it with Erika. I know! I can eat anything I want and Im still losing weight! Isn't that FABULOUS! Am afraid Im going to start gaining weight again soon as I wean him. That would suck!
YOu are lucky you loose weight with brestfeeding...I gain weight when I feed and am a fat cow! When I finally ween them off I have to wait another 6 months before I look decent! But....totally good for you and have fun shopping!! Love ya
