While studies have shown numerous benefits of breastfeeding for both infants and mothers, it can be particularly difficult for working moms to find the time to do so, while other women are unable to breastfeed for a variety of reasons. Here are the pros and cons of breastfeeding your child:

PROS

Enhances bond between mother and hungry blob

Passes important painkillers on to child

Reminds mothers of their purpose as procreative vessels

Best way to cram nutrients into child during short period of life when they’re receptive to that

Has been shown to prevent ailments such as infections, allergies, asthma, and let’s say diabetes

Can net you around 80 bucks on Craigslist if you don’t mind an audience

Makes mothers better and more important than women who don’t breastfeed

CONS

Mother must sleep in refrigerator to keep milk from spoiling

Formula feeding forges intimate bond between you and CVS cashier

Tiny, insatiable piglet chomping at your nipple

Several more months of only drinking alcohol in moderation

Not breastfeeding is easiest, most efficient way of letting everyone know you’re a bad mother who doesn’t care about her children

No one really knows how the milk gets from the cow to inside the woman

Life starts to feel like it revolves around baby
