Is My Baby Getting Enough Milk? 2 of 4

aaw! adorable!

I seriously think that this is one of the most beautiful things in the world. Watching a baby nurse is incredibly emotional for me. Absoultely beautiful. Not in a perverted way, of course.

Baby and Milk

ahhhh soooooooo cuuuuuuuuute!

Cute baby!

What a beautiful, beautiful baby! And a loevly video.

Good Luck! May you have an easy labour, a joyful birth and plentiful milk. :-)

I'm watching this w/ my 2 year old daughter in hopes to prepare her for her brother coming in 90 days!!!

i nursed my daughter for almost 8 weeks...but I too had lack of support, and wasn't as knowledged as I thought I was (nursing was much harder than I thought it would be), but I vow to successfully nurse my next child...i'm definitely signing up for those nursing classes...

That is such a cute baby! I hope I am that successful with breastfeeding.

I love seeing newborns nurse. They are so precious. I'm still nursing my 15 month old and I love the bond that we have. My son nursed until 20 months when he weaned himself.

Omg so cute! I want to breastfeed. My baby boy is due in 3 weeks...woohoo!

Glad you got the help you needed!

I was unsuccessful with my first two children due to plain lack of support and know-how from anyone around me. When I had my last child, I was determined to successfully nurse, and finally got the help I needed with La Leche League. It was /invaluable/ and I nursed him for two and a half years. It was the best experience and SO much easier than bottle feeding.

Oh my god that baby is so amasingly cute.
Im jealous of that baby's mother.
:D

Breast pumps are vital in countries like the USA where proper maternity pay isn't a right for all mothers. I have USAn friends who pump for their babies, and I have nothing but awe and respect for them. I'd rather they didn't have to 'tho. Breastfeeding is better than pumped milk, and a lot less work for the Mama! But's it's a wonder that women can now do this, to protect their babies. And I applaud that. I just wish that mothering had a higher status in society.

I was breastfed for the first year of my life. I almost never get sick and have an above average IQ. I can't believe how many parents don't do it. Then they wonder why so many kids get cancer, autism, allergies, asthma and so much more. Not that it will prevent all complications, but the benefits are there. The only thing I disagree with you on is breast feeding past the age of two. I will not debate you on it, but I have my reasons.

What are your thoughts on breast pumps?

Suckling causes oxytocin to be released from the posterior pituitary which causes your uterus to contract which helps in shrinking your uterus and diminishes postpartum hemorrhage. It's nature's way of healing your body after the trauma of birth and another benefit of breastfeeding.

Yes, very good. It can take a few weeks to get to it, but when you let the baby breasfteed, you feel relaxed and calm and peaceful inside. Part of it is a hormone that floods your brain, when the baby starts to suckle. The hormone makes you feel good. As does seeing your baby so happy and fulfilled. Thre isn't much physical feeling 'tho, it's in your head, the good feeling. :-)

Is it feel good? i mean the feeding

Oh wow.

AHHHHH SO CUTE

Every baby has a father! :-)

This is fascinating. I never thought I'd be interested in this, but i guess it is natural for even men to be concerned with proper feeding. Great baby, I agree.

that is the cutest baby i have ever see in my life!!!!!!
:D adoreable baby!
