Breastfeeding to me, means, providing love care, and the best nutrition to my baby. Breastfeeding helps create an amazing bond, trustworthy relationship between mom and baby! It also makes me feel like I’m doing something superhuman, like I have some sort of super power. That is because we as mothers are able to off something another human being or care provider can not. I also feel bad ass because I choose to nurse my baby wherever I go. I highly promote public breastfeeding because it is not only natural, but its also like yes im feeding my baby from me, from my body! Im not asking anyone in public to watch, and im also advocating and encouraging another mother to do it.

When i nurse publicly, my goal is to change the societal out look and opinion on what breastfeeding actually is. It’s literally the samething as feeding your child from a bottle, instead its just all natural and organic. Mommas your body has super powers. Mommas you a superwoman. I say, you give your babies super powers. Breastfeeding your baby can do that! It helps them in many ways, brain development, lowers risk of certain diseases and possibly of inheriting diseases that may run your family. Boost immunity by giving your baby their first set of vaccines via colostrum. It's also helps create that trust factor. When your child is hungry they come to you to feed them, it helps calm them, and makes them feel super loved and warm holding them close to your body listening to your heartbeat all while feeding them at the same time. This is what breastfeeding means to me ! Calling all my Mommas to chime in, what does breastfeeding mean to you?
