Comfort Nursing Your Baby

Are you a nursing mom wondering why your baby nurses even though he or she may not be hungry each time?

Lots of breastfeeding moms know that babies nurse for lots of reasons - baby is hungry, tired, wants to be comforted, is upset, etc. Our son is 10 months old and still nurses 6 - 8 times a day, sometimes a little less. 

10 Reasons Why Breastfeeding is Best for your Baby

I received the following information from my local WIC office, but wanted to share it with my readers who might be interested in learning more about breastfeeding and why it's best. 

The book I am writing this information out of is called Why Should I Nurse My Baby? And Other Questions About Breastfeeding, and is written by Pamela K. Wiggins, IBCLC & Joanna Wiggins Garofalo.

I have nothing against formula as I formula fed both of my kids for 1 year, but this time I want to nurse.
