How to make breastfeeding easy,
enjoyable and successful

Dear pregnant or new mother,

Imagine the joy of your tiny innocent newborn gazing trustingly into your eyes as you hold him close.

Could there be any more powerful feeling than looking deeply into your little one's dark navy blue eyes and knowing with all of your being that you are giving him or her, the absolute best beginning in life? And that right now, you are everything to your child and everything comes from you - warmth in the comfort of your arms, the security of your presence and food that is perfectly suited to your exquisitely individual baby's needs.

These are just a few of the wonderful benefits of breastfeeding for you and your baby:

• Breast milk is like a daily vaccination against every bug your baby comes in contact with: it is a living fluid containing healthy bacteria, antibodies, white blood cells, antimicrobials and cell wall protectors and proteins that offer protection against bacteria and viruses. This means that you will not be spending hours, nights or weeks pacing the floor with an unhappy, unwell baby.
  
• If you catch a bug, specialized white blood cells will appear in your breast milk to protect your baby. Conversely, if your baby becomes sick, the transfer of germs from baby to your breast will trigger the production of specific antibodies. These antibodies will be deposited into your milk to boost your baby's immunity and help her fight off illness. This means that you can take your baby out without the stress of worrying, could my child get sick? And, even if your baby is in childcare, where he may be exposed to other children's bugs, he will be protected by the immune factors in your milk.
  
• In many instances, the long-term protective effects of breastfeeding are related to its duration. Children breast fed for more than six months have one-third the number of middle-ear infections in the first three years of life than formula fed babies, the incidence of allergies is reduced sevenfold, and infants are also protected against bacterial meningitis in their first five years.
  
• The risks of a number of serious disorders, such as coeliac disease and insulin-dependent diabetes increase when babies aren't breast fed. Your milk also protects your baby against childhood lymphoma, multiple sclerosis and chronic liver diseases.
  
• When you breastfeed your baby girl, you reduce her risk of developing breast cancer later in life by 25 percent. Because breastfeeding also lowers your own risk of breast cancer, you could be saving two lives!.
  
• Studies show significant increases in IQ of babies who are breast fed: Breastfeeding is an important source of nutrition, providing vitamins and minerals, including high levels of the brain-cell builder taurine, and fatty acids which are important for brain and eye development.
  
• Breastfeeding can save on orthodontic bills, as the sucking action, which is different to that of a bottle teat, enhances jaw and facial development.
  
• Breastfeeding is good for your own health too! Hormones released while breastfeeding cause your uterus to contract and return to pre-pregnancy size, which means you will also experience less postpartum bleeding.
  
• Breastfeeding delays the return of menstruation after childbirth, meaning less discomfort, reduced expense of buying sanitary products and NO premenstrual mood swings - for a while at least!
  
• Breastfeeding helps you lose fat stored during pregnancy more quickly which means that you will regain your pre-pregnancy shape more quickly without stringent diets. Breastfeeding is also related to a reduced incidence of obesity later in life, and conveys protection against type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, ovarian cancer and pre-menopausal breast cancer.
  
• Breastfeeding protects the environment: Breastfeeding saves food resources, fuel and energy - no chemicals or packaging required!

Although you know 'breast is best', you have probably heard all sorts of horror stories about breastfeeding being difficult

You may have heard of women 'losing their milk' or having difficulty getting their babies to feed. You may have had close friends tell you how they have had their breasts groped as their babies were 'shoved' onto the breast by an over zealous nurse.

Women in your own family may have told you, "I couldn't breastfeed." The unspoken part of this sentence will be a variation of, "so you probably won't be able to either."
