Women's bodies are remarkable. Regardless of how you end up feeding your baby (because, let's be honest, a fed baby is best!), learning that a human body is capable of such intricate scientific adjustments is incredible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-interesting-article-about-breast-milk#post-2290210 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 09:25:50 +0000 psw27 2290210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read this recently too, its absolutely amazing. I just recently quit pumping after 13 months and I still doubt myself if I made it long enough for LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-interesting-article-about-breast-milk#post-2290179 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 09:02:52 +0000 snowjewelz 2290179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: Exactly! I fought SO hard for DD to be EBF between 3-6 months after I went back to work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-interesting-article-about-breast-milk#post-2290096 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 07:48:48 +0000 MoonMoon 2290096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaB: yeah that blew my mind! I mean, it makes sense, but... Woah.</p> <p>Also the stuff about the foods you ate as a child or teenager still impacting your bm. Just like the example in the article, I'm a vegetarian now but ate meat as a kid/teen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-interesting-article-about-breast-milk#post-2289569 Sun, 13 Sep 2015 07:26:53 +0000 MamaB 2289569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found the part about HOW our bodies produce antibodies to help our babies fight sickness to be absolutely fascinating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-interesting-article-about-breast-milk#post-2289473 Sat, 12 Sep 2015 20:11:48 +0000 Truth Bombs 2289473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this. Really brings home the point that it is still necessary to push breastfeeding education out to the public! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-interesting-article-about-breast-milk#post-2289423 Sat, 12 Sep 2015 16:55:13 +0000 simplyfelicity 2289423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have seen this circulating around and finally read it. We all know that "breast is best" but it's one thing for agencies to tout it's importance and a whole other to provide mothers the opportunity to do so. </p> <p>This excerpt says it best: "If we're telling women that they should breast-feed exclusively for six months, then we should give them—at minimum—the same amount, six months, of paid family leave." </p> <p>Thanks for sharing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-interesting-article-about-breast-milk#post-2289401 Sat, 12 Sep 2015 14:39:25 +0000 MoonMoon 2289401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you seen this article? It's from last month but I just read it today. I thought after 2+ years, I knew a lot about breast milk, but I learned so much from this. Plus, it's a really good argument about why we need more support for breastfeeding as a public health issue. Paid parental leave, to start!</p> <p><a href="http://www.thestranger.com/features/feature/2015/08/26/22755273/the-more-i-learn-about-breast-milk-the-more-amazed-i-am" rel="nofollow">http://www.thestranger.com/features/feature/2015/08/26/22755273/the-more-i-learn-about-breast-milk-the-more-amazed-i-am</a> </p>
