Yet Another Reason to Breastfeed

Both my boys breastfed exclusively for the first six months of their lives (for exclusive honesty purposes, I will say that Asher probably had three formula bottles somewhere in the first six months...and that may be stretching it).

There are numerous studies showing the health benefits for children who nurse, but here is a new study that shows that if you are able to breastfeed your baby...YOU SHOULD. Check it out:
