Breastfeeding is the topic I chose. When I was having children
I did not realize the importance of breastfeeding. I only breastfed one of my children
and it was my daughter Ashanti. Ashanti is 14 years old now. Ashanti took the
breast very well at first, but then she started having problems with gas, and
her digestive system. I cannot say all that her issues had to do with
breastfeeding, and if I were able to have children I would breastfeed again.
I have learned a lot of
information about breastfeeding and all the benefits it has for the child. I
would tell my parents about these and encourage them to breast feed.
I have listed some cites below for future reference:

Hi Laketha!
ReplyDeleteIt's so wonderful to see that everyone is taking heed to breastfeeding. Sorry to hear about the complications your daughter had later on after breastfeeding. I wonder what happened? Breastfeeding may not have caused the complications if everything was fine at first. I hope everything is going ok with her now.
I enjoyed your experience!
