Breasts are best! The new father's guide to breastfeeding: satisfying experience

» biogardener - satisfying experience

I can tell you from personal experience that the first time my infant son sucked mild from my breast was the most satisfying moment of my entire life. We had been through a rather traumatic delivery, and I actually died 5 minutes after the delivery. I came back to life 10 hours later. In the meantime, the baby had not had a chance to suck right after birth, and by the next day, he did not know how. I guess it is something that has to happen at a certain time.

It took a couple of days of feeding him my milk in a bottle before he finally got the hang of the real thing. That moment was the highlight of my life.
