I can recall the detail of me experience with breastfeeding.  The joy of my son was something that came at a time that I was so happy to have a health son.  I have decided to breastfeed well before his birth.  This is why I have to set the pattern for eat the right food and work on health eating before the birth.  I was able to go to prenatal class, the instructor talk to me about what to eat and what to do during and before birth if you planning to breastfeed.
In this class there were many tip that help me select the right food to help me baby to be health as well. What I learned was that the food that I eat what health for my baby. I could help my baby to fight ear infection and other illness that just with the milk that I product. Breastfeeding was a way to help me get back in shape after child birth. Breastfeeding milk it more health the store milk just to name a few thing.
This topic brought back member that help me bond with my baby cause I was able to spend more time with him and give him and health beginning. I was able to help him nutrition because is protect his body from diseases like cold, virus and allergies that are not in milk formula.
Just as in my experience it has been one that I will remember for a long time. This is the only way many baby are feed and provided nutrition in many county. Breast feeding among the sheep- herding people of Gusii  that live in the Kenya in eastern Africa feed that this is the most life threatening period of life. because many baby do not live live.  This has produce a close and defense to protect the baby. Mother carry the baby in close contact to them as protection, by strapping them to her back, breast feeding frequently and on demand according to Seifert and Hoffnung.
