It's great that you were able to feed the first two so well and unfortunate that the third could not nurse. May Allah bless and keep them all. <br /><br />You bring up a good point about women's insecurity with their bodies. Sadly, I agree that many times this can interfere with nursing. <br /><br />It's so important that woman support each other and groups like La Leche League are a great way to do that.<br /><br />May all of the women and children be blessed and protected during this special time in their lives.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />Aisha, Natural MomNatural Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05539144067787270017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4931852947600222579.post-73348861095181586282011-01-04T23:43:13.029+03:002011-01-04T23:43:13.029+03:00Salam,

My first child nursed exclusively (with some water) until he was 9 months old and I introduced juices. My second child was less enthusiastic about nursing but it was his decision to stop hamdillah and he nursed for about 9 months as well. My third child only received his share for the first few days of life because following delivery I had a medical condition that required medication that was incompatible with breast feeding. It broke my heart that he never got his share and to this day he is smaller and thinner than his brothers. I think it does make a difference as he started out with a higher birth weight than the rest. Many times women do not try to breast feed because they feel uncomfortable with their own bodies or have not been given help and support. Breastfeeding is one of the beautiful blessings between mother and child and it is really a loss if a mother does not get to experience it.<br /><br />I hope that these messages will encourage other mothers to try it and to keep it going for the benefit of their children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4931852947600222579.post-15220455459200328222011-01-04T15:25:19.842+03:002011-01-04T15:25:19.842+03:00Assalaamu alaikum and AMEEN to all your duas.

I've recently been reading some of the articles from the American online LLL mag and subhana-Allah it is amazing what breast milk can do by the will of Allah, and you can see the benefit of having good support. May Allah continue to aide us to support and educate women about the beautiful and power bodies he gave us.
