As part of World Breastfeeding Week brought to you by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action, I wanted to share with you a few of my experiences over the coming days.
For me co-sleeping and breastfeeding go hand in hand. This wasn’t the case with my first son, sure I’d co-sleep here and there but I was more scared to have him in the bed than to put him by himself.
With the birth of my second son my philosophy changed. Why? To keep my sanity! I’ve discovered that the only way to get the proper rest I need to function as a mom and to just plain function is to co-sleep. I place the baby under my arm and nurse him when he squirms while I’m only half awake. This beats getting up and down out of bed any day!
I am not one of those moms that can function on 4 hours of sleep, I need my rest! Co-sleeping and breastfeeding make it easy. No waking up to get the baby & no bottles to make. Milk and baby in bed= happy green mama!!!
What about breastfeeding has made your life easier?
