Breastfeeding leads to Goodness

Babies who are breastfed for at least 6 months are generally less depressed throughout the rest of their lives. And their mothers are less likely to die of cardiovascular disease.

Perhaps this explains why I feel a lot less anxious about stuff in general since I became a mother. Breastfeeding is supposed to downregulate stress in both mother and baby. Hopefully Josh will be able to avoid the depressive tendencies in my family - he'll need all the help he can get!
