    I breastfeed my baby and it's the most natural feeling in the world. It helps a bond build between mother and baby - Plus breastmilk has all the nutrition they need, and it's convenient... What could be better?

    I did not feed my twins myself they were my first, although i did feed my next 4 children until they were one and over, if i knew then what i knew now i would have at least had a go at it. It is the most wonderful feeling in the world, i am going to be very sad when my daughter who is 11 months stops feeding.

    I breastfed both of my children until 8 months when I had to return to work. I feel guilty that I had to stop breastfeeding and I personally would feel ashamed to bottle feed in public. Not because it's wrong I say each to their own but for me personally it's not right. It's so easy to breastfeed and free and it's the best feeling in the world to think that you are all your baby needs and wants. I do think it was harder for my husband though but I would of done it for as long as my babies wanted if I didn't have to go back to work.
