Women who have breastfed have lower rates of breast cancer, osteoporosis, uterine cancer, and urinary tract infections. No packing bottles and water and all the other things you need for formula. I found the night feeding very easy, especially since he slept with us. I didn't have to get up and go make a bottle. We just nursed without either one of us becoming fully awake.
Some people do have a problem with breastfeeding in public.
I never had a problem with it. A lot of times we went away from the publics view just because I felt it was a private moment for the two of us only.
