Stupid Question
I have a dumb question and as someone who may be pregnant, not knowing this makes me wonder if I should be thinking about having a baby, but:
Why do women breast feed? I have heard that a womans breast milk can produce what the baby needs, is that true? My mom had 3 of us and she didnt not breast feed any of us. I have also heard that breastfeeding can make a baby smarter in the long run. I have to admit, if I am pregnant I do not see myself ever being comfortable breastfeeding my baby. So is there really any strong purpose for doing this, is it just a preference?
Thanks so much!
