While studies have shown numerous benefits of breastfeeding for both infants and mothers, it can be particularly difficult for working moms to find the time to do so, while other women are unable to breastfeed for a variety of reasons. Here are the pros and cons of breastfeeding your child:
PROS
Enhances bond between mother and hungry blob
Passes important painkillers on to child
Reminds mothers of their purpose as procreative vessels
Best way to cram nutrients into child during short period of life when they’re receptive to that
Has been shown to prevent ailments such as infections, allergies, asthma, and let’s say diabetes
Can net you around 80 bucks on Craigslist if you don’t mind an audience
Makes mothers better and more important than women who don’t breastfeed
CONS
Mother must sleep in refrigerator to keep milk from spoiling
Formula feeding forges intimate bond between you and CVS cashier
Tiny, insatiable piglet chomping at your nipple
Several more months of only drinking alcohol in moderation
Not breastfeeding is easiest, most efficient way of letting everyone know you’re a bad mother who doesn’t care about her children
No one really knows how the milk gets from the cow to inside the woman
Life starts to feel like it revolves around baby
