Breast Feeding The Best gift to give to Baby.
Breast feeding is something to not be ashamed of. It is the best gift you can give to your child. I breast feed my son for 22 months and it was worth it. he was a very happy baby. And still is, i noticed he got fewer colds and ear infections. if any he only had one ear infection throughout his short 2 year life. Breast feeding especially within the first 24 hours after giving birth has these special antibodies that protects the baby and makes them resist to certain diseases. Plus it saves you alot of money. With breast feeding it’s convenient,natural, and you lose your baby weight alot quicker. formula feeding you have to prepare the formula warm it up while you hear a baby in the background screaming for food. and formula is only good up to an hour in the fridge. breast milk you can pump your milk and store it up to 6 months froze in the freezer, and if not froze fresh breast milk is good in the fridge up to 5 days now thats way cool. your doctor visits will be alot less if you breastfeed. If you formula feed you are guaranteed at least 3 or more visits to the doctors. plus if you breast feed you also will have this bond with your child for the rest of his or her life. You will get to be more closer with you little one. and if you breast feed it cuts your chances of having breast cancer in half later in life. You decide either way breast feeding is the best gift a mother can give to her children.

teen pregnancy
Teen pregnancy is a huge problem in America.
Still, teenage pregnancy rates remain high. In the United States, approximately 1 million teenage girls become pregnant every year. As many as 5% of teenage girls give birth and, in 1997, about 13% of U.S. births were to teens. About 25% of teenage girls who give birth have another baby within 2 years. In order to lower teenage birthrates, teens must be educated about sex and the consequences of teen pregnancy.
Teen pregnancy is an important issue. There are health risk to the baby and children born to teenage mothers are more likely to suffer health, social, and emotional problems. There is an increased risk for complications such as premature labor during teen pregnancy. Jamie Lynn spears is one good example of teen pregnancy.
