Everyone who knows me personally knows that I'm a breastfeeding advocate.  Even before I got pregnant I knew I would breastfeed my baby, and I was very committed to doing it.  Breastfeeding did not come easy to me at first, but I stuck with it and I'm so glad I did because I found it to be one of the most fullfilling things I've ever done. 

But to all my pregnant friends who aren't sure if breastfeeding is for them, here is a collection of really great articles about breastfeeding.  Let me know what you think of them by leaving a comment, or if you have any specific breastfeeding questions you can ask me anything.

• Study: Breast-feeding would save lives, money The first study I've seen that really drives home the benefits of breastfeeding as a public health issue as opposed to a lifestyle decison. 
   
• Expect A Tough Time In The First Month One of many great articles on the BreastfeedingTruth.com website.   If you know about some of the common hurdles in getting a good start at breastfeeding you will be more likely to get past them.
