At Mothers’ Milk Bank of North Texas we are passionate supporters of breastfeeding because of the nutritional and emotional benefits for both mother and child. Breastfeeding moms also have the opportunity to save the lives of fragile babies by donating their excess breastmilk to the Milk Bank.
We wanted to know what others thought about breastfeeding. So, we prompted our Facebook friends to finish the following sentence: Breastfeeding is awesome because ________.
