He is 15 months old and is completely healthy except he has Down Syndrome. We are so thrilled! We are leaving for Ohio to get him in the morning. His name is Bryson Thomas Lee!

Breastmilk contains nutrients that assist the central nervous system and can make a very big difference in your baby's intelligence...as much as 12 points difference. So whether you are breastfeeding or whether you use donor milk, breastmilk is a gift that will last a lifetime.
