They don't always tell you the magical moments either like when your baby looks up and smiles 100% satisfied look on his face and you'll feel like a million bucks because your baby is happy with mommy's milk, his mommy's milk. It's easy because its there. No getting up in the middle of the night to warm a bottle, no buying formula that's easily $25 for a weeks worth (if that), and no icky formula smell. If you've never smelled a baby that's just had breast milk and then smelled a baby that had formula you'll see what I'm saying. It's so different. It's a blessing because I know that I'm providing my little one with the best possible nutrition that is made just for him and that whether our breast feeding journey ends next month or two years from now when he's ready to wean I know that the memories and bonding we having will last for the rest of my life and I've instilled a sense of trust and security in my baby.
To each their own whether formula or breast. I don't want to be judged for nursing in public just like I wouldn't judge another for giving their baby a bottle. Food is food. It's a hot topic lately and I never realized it before. I personally don't ever remember being around anyone breast feeding so bottles were the norm and I'm sure that's true for many people and its very unfortunate. Breast feeding is 100% natural and shouldn't have to be explained it should be expected and embraced.
Here's a pic of my little one latching on for the first time. Melts my heart. I have a video as well with the little precious sounds he made when he was eating.
