Breast-feeding does not belong in the realm of facts and hard numbers; it is much too intimate and elemental.

I'm a big advocate of breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding is the very best diet I've been on.

Something as simple as better breastfeeding could save a million children a year.

I think breastfeeding is part of what helped me lose my baby weight. I just dump it all into my chubby little son.

I think they say that when you're breast feeding, you know, your weight kind of slims down. It's a little easier. It's like a workout within itself. It's very tiring actually and you find yourself snacking more often.

People say, 'You're still breast-feeding, that's so generous.' Generous, no! It gives me boobs and it takes my thighs away! It's sort of like natural liposuction. I'd carry on breast-feeding for the rest of my life if I could.

Feeding my children is not like feeding myself: it matters more.

When a woman gives birth to a child, the child needs to be able to digest the mother's milk; but when this child is old enough to begin to eat other foods, there is some switching off of this ability to consume milk.

My mom breastfed me for more than a year, and I can't imagine doing it any other way. It's cheap and much better for the environment, and you don't have to lug all that stuff around.
