Breastfeeding is a gift that we have forgotten, we got so close, so easy and sometimes the easy things ourselves the complicate.
The Bum''''milk''formula''and all the great market of interest that surround it, have allegedly helped modern mothers, and those blinded by the "In" and the lack of information and support , did not realize that the best nourishment for their babies was their own milk. Today
more informed mothers are those who have returned to as simple and pure, and have discovered that there are many myths and realities about breastfeeding. Story

My story:
weaning is a maturing process for both the baby and mother.
My story is very common nowadays, my husband and I were young they decided to finish a college career before even thinking about getting married or having children. Once we got our degrees, I engineer and architect, and some professional maturity, decided to get married and as expected we wanted to have children immediately. This was not easy, the road was slow and tortuous and in the end after many tears and disappointments we did, we were pregnant!
The nursing history in my family was almost nil, my closest experience was my sister who only managed to breastfeed my nephew with much pain and anguish by just two or three months, with tears and blood I lived very close to this story , and my best friend who could breastfeed their two children exclusively for six months and up to nine, which seemed to me then a superhuman accomplishment and made me doubt my ability, because this friend is physically much larger than me, which made me think it was that the reason for their achievement ... however I still like my sister, I saw in his own mirror!
Then I decided I should seek help, I wanted for my daughter the best the world had been waiting so long that my dreams came beyond the cosmos ... milk was one of those most precious gifts of life. I found help when she was pregnant with a lactation specialist doctor, the information we received my husband my mom, my sister and I, and was the trigger for my husband also heading towards the goal of being able to breastfeed our baby.

came a January 28, 2005 to our lives, filled with just love! And those images in my dreams of my baby at the breast full of peace and tranquility came down ... she was crying so just be close to my chest ... what happened?, Is that my milk was different, is it that has something my baby?, is that we not learned anything? Then find more help and found a wonderful Chilean Leader La Leche League via the Internet, and began the beautiful images of my dreams to come back and this time become a beautiful reality!
exclusively breastfed my daughter for six months on demand, despite the recommendations of my doctor who wanted to impose a schedule. I intended to breastfeed until she wanted, what I thought was going to be at least two years ... the year my daughter started to prefer one breast, this surprised me but I'm not bothered to see one of my breasts was larger than the other, she continued to breastfeed and that was what mattered. But one day he started not to order the chest and that is what I was getting offered a big if and a big smile, but when he Sofia to the chest as you naughty girl laughed and said not a rogue act in his eyes ... Sophie was nearing the end of weaning ... BUT I DO NOT! Isabel Sofia
breastfed by year and a half with lots of love, I always had charged, seemed part of me still, despite the constant criticism he received from that evil would bring to both embrace and charging it, I did not want drop for a second, he wanted to look closely ever, smell filled me with so much love, your eyes, your skin ... what's not always going to be charged if it was my best and most perfect project?
She weaned a year and a half, I weaned her two years and three months! I started looking the reasons for early weaning, would not accept it, could not understand, until I realized that weaning is a maturing process for both the baby and the mother, with the difference that the mother can seek help and information for gain an understanding of what is happening and the baby ...
