Beautiful Breastfeeding quotes

breastfeeding is as old as the human race. Over the years, this combining experience has influenced countless poems, inspirations, dedications, and writings.

Here are just a couple of my favourite, beautiful breastfeeding quotes.

1. “Breastfeeding is a natural act, but it is also an art that is learned every day. The reality is that almost all women can breastfeed, have enough milk for their babies and learn how to overcome problems of all magnitudes. It is nearly always simply a matter of practical knowledge and not a question of good luck.”- By La Leche League.
2. “The natural power of breastfeeding is one of the greatest miracles of the world. It is about real love, caring for and celebrating the wondrous joy of nurturing a new life, it is about enjoying being a woman.”-By Anwar Fazal.
3. “Bread is a kind of successor to the motherly breast, and it has been over the centuries responsible for the sighs of satisfaction.”-By Margaret Visser.
4. “Certainly, before bottle feeding, mothers had no choice but to let the infant suck milk from her body, and in the absence of ‘baby foods’, this tended to go on for a good amount of time. A great compromise of modern drug and sex behavior has its origins in the frantic effort to set things aright–to give the pleasure principle a belated opportunity to assert itself, by denying it too early.”-By Bruno Bettelheim, The Children of the Dream.
5. “Breastfeeding reminds us of the universal truth of abundance; the more we give out, the more we are filled up, and that divine nourishment – the source from which we all draw is, like a mother’s breast, forever full and eternally flowing.”- By Sara Buckley.
6.  “Human milk is not just any food; it also complements the development of organs in infants.”-By Peter Hartmann.
7. Breastfeeding is an unsentimental metaphor for how love works, in a way. You don’t decide how much to love. You simply respond to the beloved, and give with joy exactly as much as they want.”-By Marni Jackson.
8. “The moment a child is given birth to, the mother is also born. She never lived before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.”-By Rajneesh.
9. “People have to understand that when they’re deciding between breastmilk and formula, as they are not deciding between two beverages…. They’re deciding between a live, pure substance and a dead substance made with the cheap oils available.”-By Chele Marmet.
10. “The days are long, but the years are too short.”-By Gretchen Rubin.
11. “My opinion is that anybody who is offended by breastfeeding is staring too hard.”-By David Allen.
12. “There are three reasons for breastfeeding: first, the milk is always at the right temperature; second, it comes in attractive containers, and third, a cat can’t drink it.”-By Irena Chalmers.
