Amazing!

Last night at t-ball practice, I had a lady ask me if Hudson is still taking a bottle. I told her he had never had a bottle. She was shocked! Is it really that unusual for a baby to never have a drop of formula? Breast milk is, after all, the way babies are supposed to be fed. It is the BEST thing a mother can do for her child. Really, are we as a society so sexualized that the thought of a woman using her breasts for what they were meant to be used for is shocking? As long as I live, I will never understand why people get so up in arms over breastfeeding!

On a related note, I posted the other day on facebook about birth control and breast feeding. I need to find another means of birth control since I no longer meet any of the criteria for nursing to be effective. Carlos and I have agreed now is definitely not the time to add another child to the mix. My concern is the pill will decrease my supply. Hudson still nurses pretty frequently. I got several comments about how nursing isn't even an effective form of birth control. Really? 98% isn't effective? With perfect use, the pill is 98% effective, but in reality, with typical use, it is only 87% effective. So what if somebody got pregnant while nursing? Does that really negate the reality that nursing IS an effective form of birth control? I know people who got pregnant on the pill, depo, and even after a tubal. If  I asked around, I know I could also find people who got pregnant while on an IUD or after a vasectomy. My point is, if you don't consider a 98% effectiveness rate as "good", you probably shouldn't be having sex!
