“If a multinational company developed a product that was a nutritionally balanced and delicious food, a wonder drug that both prevented and treated disease, cost almost nothing to produce and could be delivered in quantities controlled by the consumers’ needs, the very announcement of their find would send their shares rocketing to the top of the stock market. The scientists who developed the product would win prizes and the wealth and influence of everyone involved would increase dramatically. Women have been producing such a miraculous substance, breastmilk, since the beginning of human existence.” » Gabrielle Palmer
“If I had only known when I had my first . . . I definitely experienced a lot of challenges. As a result, I’m on a mission with every pregnant woman I see!

Have you prepared?” If anyone had told me what to expect, or had given me some pointers, I would have been able to have a very different experience.” » Jenna Elfman

It is almost always simply a matter of practical knowledge and not a question of good luck.” » La Leche League
“Breastfeeding is an unsentimental metaphor for how love works, in a way. You don’t decide how much and how deeply to love — you respond to the beloved, and give with joy exactly as much as they want.” » Marni Jackson
“No one could give her such soothing and sensible consolation as this little three-month-old creature when he lay at her breast and she felt the movement of his lips and the snuffling of his tiny nose.” » Leo Tolstoy
“When I first had the baby, I was breastfeeding for two years straight, so we were together for two years of his life — every day, all hours of the day. So I was two people, and I eventually morphed back into one. Now he’s part of me. He’s very independent as a result of it.” » Erykah Badu
“It’s an amazing bond with your child. Some cultures do it up to five years, normally. I thought, ’Well, I’ll just do it as long as it feels right for my son.” » Kelly Rutherford
“Breastfeeding is a natural “safety net” against the worst effects of poverty. If the child survives the first month of life (the most dangerous period of childhood) then for the next four months or so, exclusive breastfeeding goes a long way toward canceling out the health difference between being born into poverty and being born into affluence …. It is almost as if breastfeeding takes the infant out of poverty for those first few months in order to give the child a fairer start in life and compensate for the injustice of the world into which it was born.” » James P. Grant
“Mammals: a family of vertebrate animals whose females in a state of nature suckle their young, but when civilized and enlightened put them out to nurse, or use the bottle.” » Ambrose Bierce
“When we trust the makers of baby formula more than we do our own ability to nourish our babies, we lose a chance to claim an aspect of our power as women. Thinking that baby formula is as good as breast milk is believing that thirty years of technology is superior to three million years of nature’s evolution. Countless women have regained trust in their bodies through nursing their children, even if they weren’t sure at first that they could do it. It is an act of female power, and I think of it as feminism in its purest form.” » Christine Northrup
“It is really cute when they are nursing together. He just looks at her, and checks her out, and puts his hand on her little feet. It gives him this close-up intimate look at her, and it’s very beautiful to see them to kind of get to know each other. When a child is starting to be independent, to be able to come back to the mother and hold on, they are processing things when they are nursing. The world is a big place for us, imagine what it is for them. For children, it’s a nurturing, cuddly place to come back to that’s safe, where they can process the world that they are in. I see my son processing, and my daughter already; they sit, they look at you, they are safe, they have a moment to breathe, to be nurtured.” » Kelly Rutherford
“My opinion is that anybody offended by breastfeeding is staring too hard.” » David Allen
“Breast milk is better than any udder milk!”
Bottles
“Bottles fill his stomach, but breastfeeding fills his soul.”
Diane Wiessinger, IBCLC
“…the idea of bottle feeding just to ‘involve the father’ is one more instance of preserving the status quo at a price to the baby.”
Marni Jackson, The Mother Zone
“They convinced our mothers that if a food item came in a bottle — or a can or a box or a cellophane bag — then it was somehow better for you than when it came to you free of charge via Mother Nature….An entire generation of us were introduced in our very first week to the concept that phony was better than real, that something manufactured was better than something that was right there in the room.”
Michael Moore, Here Comes Trouble
“Certainly, before bottle feeding, mothers had no choice but to let the infant suck pleasurably from her body, and in the absence of ‘baby foods’, this tended to go on for a considerable time. …A great deal of modern drug and sex behaviour has its roots in the desperate effort to set things aright–to give the pleasure principle a belated chance to assert itself, after denying it too early.”
Bruno Bettelheim, The Children of the Dream
“A breastfeeding support kit from a formula company is like a vegetarianism support kit from a pig farmer.”
Annie at PhD in Parenting
“I think anywhere you give a bottle, you breastfeed. I didn’t feel the need to be immodest, but also feel like that’s going to vary from woman to woman. I would try and be, absolutely, respectful and conscious of the community I was in, but I don’t believe you need to cover up a baby eating, anymore than you need to cover up a baby drinking a bottle.”
Mayim Bialik

breastfeeding is as old as the human race. Over the years, this combining experience has influenced countless poems, inspirations, dedications, and writings.
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. The reality is that almost all women can breastfeed, have enough milk for their babies and learn how to overcome problems of all magnitudes. It is nearly always simply a matter of practical knowledge and not a question of good luck.”- By La Leche League.
- “The natural power of breastfeeding is one of the greatest miracles of the world. It is about real love, caring for and celebrating the wondrous joy of nurturing a new life, it is about enjoying being a woman.”-By Anwar Fazal.
- “Bread is a kind of successor to the motherly breast, and it has been over the centuries responsible for the sighs of satisfaction.”-By Margaret Visser.
- “Certainly, before bottle feeding, mothers had no choice but to let the infant suck milk from her body, and in the absence of ‘baby foods’, this tended to go on for a good amount of time. A great compromise of modern drug and sex behavior has its origins in the frantic effort to set things aright–to give the pleasure principle a belated opportunity to assert itself, by denying it too early.”-By Bruno Bettelheim, The Children of the Dream.
- “Breastfeeding reminds us of the universal truth of abundance; the more we give out, the more we are filled up, and that divine nourishment – the source from which we all draw is, like a mother’s breast, forever full and eternally flowing.”- By Sara Buckley.
- “Human milk is not just any food; it also complements the development of organs in infants.”-By Peter Hartmann.
- Breastfeeding is an unsentimental metaphor for how love works, in a way. You don’t decide how much to love. You simply respond to the beloved, and give with joy exactly as much as they want.”-By Marni Jackson.
- “The moment a child is given birth to, the mother is also born. She never lived before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.”-By Rajneesh.
- “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.
Final thoughts
Every woman’s breastfeeding journey is different. When breastfeeding, some women are always hungry, others have a poor milk production, and still others have a plenty of of breast milk.
These breastfeeding quotes wonderfully explain all aspects of breastfeeding your baby, from how amazing it is to feeling like you’re “meals on heels” at times.
