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

“Breastfeeding is a natural act, but it is also an art that is learned every day.

It is nearly always simply a matter of practical knowledge and not a question of good luck.”- By La Leche League.

“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.
“The days are long, but the years are too short.”-By Gretchen Rubin.
“My opinion is that anybody who is offended by breastfeeding is staring too hard.”-By David Allen.
“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.
