Baby-poll poll What is your favorite thing about breastfeeding?
(Baby poll by jeanette, 1249 days ago)
The bond that is shared between mother and child is unmatched
The babies are much healthier into adulthood.
The babies fulfill their intellectual potential and turn out to be much smarter.
The babies make sweet-smelling poo, not stinky messes.
The Mother's body shrinks in No Time and she's far less likely to get the baby blues.
My favorite thing is not mentioned here, so I left a comment.

I like it for the reasons above, but also the feeling you get that YOU are the only one that can do this, it kind makes you feel more real or alive so to speak.. not only making me feel important but I too find it easier in the middle of the night.

i would have to say all of the above. To me the absolute best thing was the convienience of it. Baby is hungry...food is ready. I got SOO much more sleep when breastfeeding than i ever did using formula. I think bf babies are happier too :)

I would say all are great perks to bfing, but my FAVE part is that it`s FREE! It`s the best food you can give your baby and it doesn`t cost a cent! I mean, unless you wanna pump, but even then compared with the costs of formula, your pump pays for itself in like 1 or 2 months. Bfing is THE way to go if you can help it!!!!

My favorite thing is watching my little girl grow knowing that she is growing off my milk. It feels good to be able to provide her with the very best nutrition out there. :)

I agree with 1 & 2. My very favorite is not buying formula, the smell of formula. I BF my son for three months, then stopped, I wish I would have done it longer. I will this time.

I agree with leahs

I choose answers 1,2,4,5 and because its waaaaay cheaper :)

jeanette (1249 days ago)
I love it because it`s SO convenient and cheap. My mother had three kids, a job, and was in school full time. Everyone back then was feeding formula, but she BFed because there was no way she was getting up in the night to make a bottle. It`s totally untrue that formula is easiest for people going back to work.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
