Breastfeed Your Baby

From , former About.com Guide

Having a baby soon? Try breastfeeding. It saves money, electricity and is totally free. I breastfed my first 2 (number 3 is due soon) and have also saved on doctor bills because I strongly believe my kids aren't sick because I breastfed them. My oldest is 10 and in that many years has only been sick a total of 5 times. And my son who is now 2 has only had two head colds that last less than 5 days. - Submitted by Gretchen

Now this might sound really strange but it works. If you breastfeed, you can use your breastmilk to soothe and clear up diaper rash. - Submitted by Bonny
