Breastfeeding has countless benefits,but for one mom who suffered from intense postpartum depression, it served a vitally primary role not often listed as a positive side effect. It, and quite literally,saved her life. "When my son was two months worn, I got severely ill with postpartum depression – so wrong that I had a suicide method and for 10 months straight I had to make the choice to live another day, or " a woman wrote in a revealing Facebook post on the current Breastfeeding Mama Talk page. "My son is breastfed and no matter how tough I tried he would refuse to drink from a bottle. So each day I had to choose life just so that my son could be fed."hastily-forward almost a year,and both mom and baby are healthy. "Now he is 13 months worn . . . still breastfeeding," she said. "I am recovered from the postpartum depression and so grateful for my life now. I know that if my son would have taken a bottle, or I would be dead now. I truly believe that breastfeeding my son is the reason I am alive today."
