This is my contest entry for Sccastaneda's favorite breastfeeding top contest. These stretchy cotton tanks are great for breastfeeding on a regular basis because not only are affordable, easy to find, and convient for breastfeeding but they also come in a array of colors and are easy to dress up or dress down!! You can wear them shopping at the mall, running errands or just lounging around the house. These shirts are also very easy to care for! Pretty much just wash and wear. Great for mommys who wanna relax in their free time instead handwashing or dry cleaning clothes!!!! :)

Thank you Sonia for holding this contest!!! Breastfeeding is one of the most natural and beneficial acts a mother can do for her child and though it can be overwhelming and difficult at times the benefits you and your child recieve are definately worth it in the end. Here are a few reasons why breast is the best:
Benefits of breastfeeding:
(BABY BENEFITS)
*Breastfed babies recieve the most complete and optimal mix of nutrients & antibodies
*The varying composition of breastmilk keeps pace with the infant's individual growth and changing nutritional needs
*Reduced risk of chronic constipation, colic, and other stomach upsets
*Reduced risk of childhood diabetes
*Reduced risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) Statistics reveal that for every 87 deaths from
SIDS, only 3 are breastfed.
*Decreased risk of tooth decay (cavities)
*Nursing promotes facial structure development, enhanced speech, straighter teeth and enhances vision.
*Reduced risk of heart disease later in life
*Breastfed babies are hospitalized 10 times less than formula fed infants in the first year of life
* Less risk of childhood obesity
*Breastfed babies enjoy a special warm bonding and emotional relationship with their mothers!!! :)
(MOMMY BENEFITS)
*Reduced risk of breast, ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancers
*Reduced risk of anemia
*Helps delay return of fertility and to space subsequent pregnancies
*Breastmilk is free- reducing or eliminating the cost of formula (in the thousands of dollars/per year)
*Breastfed babies are sick less thus reducing healthcare costs to family in Doctor office visits, prescriptions, over the counter medicine purchases, and hospitalizations
*Moms miss less time off from work due to child related illnesses
*Helps the uterus contract after birth to control postpartum bleeding
*Helps the mother's body return to its pre-pregnancy state faster - promotes weight loss...1/2 of calories needed to manufacture milk is pulled from fat stores... can burn from 500 - 1,500 calories per day.
****************************************************
These are just a few reasons why breastfeeding is the best thing for you and your baby! There are tons of facts that support breastfeeding! Here are a few more fun ones:
*Breastfeeding makes you feel good, the hormones produced during nursing have an endorphin effect giving you a relaxed feeling.
*You have a great excuse to sit down and relax.....
*You can nurse while sleeping...nursing moms get more rest than formula feeding moms.
*Breastfeeding saves moms about 7 hours a week off their feet.
*No screaming baby in the middle of the night waiting on the formula to heat up.
*It's the only time you can ever lose weight without dieting or exercise!
*Breastfeeding is more convenient, when traveling, all you need is to take diapers, the milk is always available, sterile, and the right temperature.
*During times of disaster, you don't have to worry about finding formula.
*Breastfed babies smell great....spit ups don't stain, or smell, and poopie diapers are not offensive...(until solids are introduced)
*Breastfed babies know their moms and will never confuse them with a sitter.
*The strong bond developed with nursing is much more intense.
*There is no feeling to describe the child suckling at your breast and letting go to give you a big smile; and knowing that the growth of your baby came from what your body produced! Wow! What a feeling!
*The satisfaction of knowing you are giving your baby the best start in life!
*Breastmilk taste great! Sweet tasting! Variations in taste according to foods moms eats. Have you ever tasted formula? Ugh!
*Breastfeeding requires the use of only one arm....you can do other things while breastfeeding, (except cooking and driving...lol)
