Commitment To Motherhood
Our Commitment to You
Simply Motherhood is commited to providing compassionate breastfeeding support and instilling confidence by providing the right guidance and information so that you can overcome breastfeeding challenges. We understand the real-life challenges you will face. We are not here to judge or question your commitment, we simply want to help you enjoy your breastfeeding experience and your motherhood.
Your Commitment to Your Baby
You have chosen to make breastfeeding a part of your life because you understand the benefits for your baby and for yourself. Despite the natural urge to breastfeed, you may experience difficulties. That is the time to seek support. Breastfeeding can be challenging for some and frustrating for many. Simply Motherhood respects your efforts to breastfeed and will support you in any way you need. Together we will take the time to find the right solution to your breastfeeding needs. Resolution of a breastfeeding problem often takes several days or weeks, while the advice given by Simply Motherhood is effective in most instances, success depends, in large part, on follow-through with the recommendations.
The Investment
A Mother's milk is best for babies. It contains living cells, hormones, active
enzymes, immunoglobulins, and compounds with unique structures that cannot be replicated in infant formula. Breast-fed infants have lower rates of hospital admissions, ear infections, diarrhea, rashes, allergies, and other medical problems than formula-fed babies. Health experts agree breastfeeding saves consumers money on both infant formula and healthcare costs. In the first year of formula feeding you can anticipate to spend about $1,500 - $2,000 on formula alone. Add to that the cost of bottles, liners, nipples and other supplies that are also required and it's easy to see that breastfeeding is the best choice for your baby and your pocketbook.
Breastfeeding is the best investiment you can make for the health and well being of your baby. It requires time and patience but the rewards are priceless. Welcome to Motherhood!
