Breastfeeding - My Experience, Part 1

Breastfeeding is very important to me, but it wasn't always.

I am so glad my mother-in-law asked me if I would breastfeed my children when that time came.  She asked me this when I was first dating my husband.  No, she wasn't implying anything; she worked as a NICU nurse and lactation consultant for her hospital.  At the time I didn't know.  I was given soy formula when I was a baby.  "I turned out fine."  "I was smart."  I bought into all the booby traps and cultural mis-perceptions.  After that conversation my curiosity was piqued and I wanted to learn more for myself.
