I nursed my daughter for 2 years and 3 months until I started to suddenly lose so much weight that I had to wean her. She's an incredibly strong, healthy girl and well above average in IQ, EQ, height and things like language ability. She is rarely sick.

My oncologist said to me once that my own lack of ever having been breastfed was likely a major contributor to my body's early cancer diagnosis at age 27.

Breastfeeding is so NORMAL to me I don't even think of it as medicine - it's the optimal way to nourish a baby.
