There are so many reasons out there to breastfeed and it’s hard to try to compile them into a top ten, but here we go:
10. It’s free
9. I never worry about having a clean water source handy
8. The milk is always at the right temperature and is ready to eat
7. There are no additional dishes to do
6. I don’t have to get out of bed to conduct a night-time feeding
5. I can stop tantrums in an instant
4. Breastfeeding is a great pain reliever for little boo-boos.
3. It’s eco-friendly
2. There are no added chemicals to worry about
1. Did I mention it was FREE?
