Photo Submission
“This photo shows an unbreakable bond within 3 generations that started from the very beginning. A bond that began in the womb and got even stronger through the time spent breastfeeding. My mom breastfed me, and I breastfed my girls. The first few months were challenging with my first, but I worked at it and breastfed all of my girls for 2 to 4 years each. Breastfeeding saved me from severe postpartum depression. The bond that saved my life also created an incredible relationship of trust and love within our family. If I know one thing, it’s that breastfeeding strengthened our family by bonding us like nothing else could. Please give your baby and your family the most potent medicine you can, your gift of breastfeeding and the bonds that comes with it.” – Candy Clarke
