Getting Off to a Good Start

On Thursday, Tal earned brownie points when he attended a breastfeeding class with me.

Tal and I agree that breastfeeding is the best for Savannah. Most importantly, it will protect Savannah from infections and reduce her chances of developing allergies and asthma (both of which Tal has). Breastfeeding also saves money; we've read that parents often spend $2,500 annually on formula.

The class provided a wealth of good information on what to expect the first few days and weeks, what positions to use, how to develop a feeding schedule, etc.

We're believing that I'll master the art of breastfeeding quickly and that Savannah will be a little prodigy who latches on right from the start.
