When I was pregnant I already decided I wanted to breastfeed my baby.  My reasons: studies have proven that breast milk is healthiest for baby, it encourages bonding between mom and baby and it’s FREE (formula is $$$)!  I also think it helped me shed the baby weight sooner too... skinny jeans FTW!

Although the concept seems simple, I was still a little concerned that I wouldn’t be able to breastfeed.  Thankfully with a little help and effort I am able too, which has been a rewarding experience.
