'Breastfeeding Simply' How to make breastfeeding easy, enjoyable and successful
These are just a few of the wonderful benefits of breastfeeding for you and your baby:
- 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!.
- 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 protects the environment: Breastfeeding saves food resources, fuel and energy - no chemicals or packaging required!
- 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 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 can save on orthodontic bills, as the sucking action, which is different to that of a bottle teat, enhances jaw and facial development.
- 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.
