Marathoner Neely Spence Gracey on Why Breast-feeding the Baby is Important.

July 2, 2020 By Namita Nayyar (Editor in chief)

There are certainly things that I used to be much more on top of like meal prep and cleaning… I realized not getting these done is not the end of the world and it is OK to order out or eat leftovers three days in a row. I hired a house cleaner twice a month to reduce my stress there, and if I was seeking balance, I would see needing help as a failure. But re-framing it has made all the difference and as long as I check off those three priorities, I feel like I won the day!

N.N:

How has breastfeeding proved to help in boosting the immunity of your baby and your own physical recovery?

N.S.G:

My personal experience has been hugely positive in regards to the health of my child. I knew I wanted to nurse him and give him the nutrients my body made just for him to help him grow as strong as possible and I feel so fortunate I had the ability and opportunity to do just that.

He has only been sick once in his two years of life even with a lot of travel as he has flown more than 20 times all over the US and even to Singapore!

N.N:

How old is your baby girl/boy? Share your emotional experience while feeding a baby?

N.S.G:


Athens, my son, is now two. (since this is for august, I am just going with that bc his b’day is 7/29) I loved nursing! I weaned him at 9months, and had pumped enough milk for him through 10 months. That very special time together was so meaningful and those baby cuddles were special.

N.N:
Share your input on your diet pattern you followed while breast-feeding. How long do you think it’s important to breast-feed a baby?


N.S.G:


My body handled nursing and training fairly well. I was able to run up to 2 hour long runs, 70 miles a week, and still had enough milk for him as long as I was very cognizant of fueling well before and after training, and hydrating during runs over an hour. My personal goal was to breastfeed exclusively through 6 months but I wanted to get through flu season and he was so healthy and happy it was a joy to continue.

I honestly wish I would have nursed him to a year. I miss that special time together now that he is so on the go.

WF team is grateful to Neely Spence & her team for an enlightening input on Significance of Breast-feeding.
