When I was a first-time mom getting in the swing of breastfeeding my daughter, I was amazed at not only how normal it felt after a while, but how easily it integrated into my everyday life. Sure, there were times when I had to cancel plans because of a teething baby, or because I didn't really want to nurse my child at a particular place, but by and large, breastfeeding did nothing but make my transition into motherhood more smooth and seamless.
Although breastfeeding takes serious commitment and work for many moms, focusing on the little everyday benefits that you may otherwise take for granted could make breastfeeding a whole lot easier on the days when you just want your boobs to yourself. These benefits aren't revolutionary, and they certainly won't change your life, but sometimes, in the craziness of motherhood, it's the little things that become the most important.
