Happy Friday all my foodie friends, hope everyone survived the Holidays. The food coma was going around, I hope you managed to avoid it.
We had quite a week, Santa came to town and spoiled all the kiddies with lots of toys and Christmas joys. But the big bonus for our #family was the birth of our grand daughter Jordyn Olivia weighing in, at 7 lbs. 13 oz., all of 20 inches long.
So tiny and perfect. But let me tell you, she has one good set of lungs.
Came into this world "Hangry", stole that word from @jlsplatts, but it was a perfect word to describe Jordyn, she was so hungry that it made her angry, hence HANGRY.
Well, my beautiful daughter in law solved that problem real quick. Fed that little one the perfect food...Mother's Milk.
Perfect temperature, no waiting for preparation, no additives, chemicals or toxins, just warm sweet milk that only a mother can provide. Breast feeding provides so many benefits for the newborn as well as the mommy.
What are the Health Benefits of Breastfeeding?
Breastfeeding protects babies from infections and illnesses that include diarrhea,...
Breastfed babies are less likely to develop asthma.
Children who are breastfed for six months are less likely to become obese.
Breastfeeding also reduces the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

There is no doubt in my mind that breastfed babies are healthier, more content, sleep better and enjoy a bonding with their mommy that is hard to describe, I would say priceless.
It's a shame that only about 30% of new mothers breastfeed. I am sure there are many different reasons for not doing so, like going back to work, social discomfort, lack of support or feeling overwhelmed by the whole experience.
I myself never even thought of NOT breastfeeding, the benefits just completely out weigh any doubts I may have had. It's the perfect food, high in protein, low in sugar, easily digested and it's always at the right temperature. And it's FREE.
Health benefits are so numerous, for instance, the 'First Milk" called colostrum, not only provides the infant with the perfect nutrition but it also provides immunoglobulin A (lgA) antibodies for the baby. #naturalmedicine
A nursing mother also gains enormous benefits, like weigh loss, bonding with the infant and uterine contraction from chemical reactions that occur from having the baby suckle.
Mother's Milk really is the perfect food. What a gift you give to your child and to yourself. There is NO substitute.
A milk drunk baby, what more can you ask for, God knew what he was doing when he created woman.
