I was reading an article that was saying that postpartum depression can be lessened with breastfeeding and it had me thinking.

I had the baby blues after the birth of both of my children. Both times it was mild and both times I was breastfeeding. I remember when if was holding the baby and feeling slightly depressed I would feel better after the feeding was finished. I just thought it was because I was getting some quiet time with the baby and face it....they were both soooo cute....lol

The article was saying that with the mother's hormones still in a state of flux that the act of feeding helps put the chemicals in her body back on track. So, not only is breast feeding good for the baby, but it's good for mom to. I guess it wasn't just quiet time and my cute baby that was making me feel happier!
