Breastfeeding Benefits
Breastfeeding has many benefits for both mother and baby. From the first feeding, babies are bathed in “liquid gold” which is full of specialized cells and proteins to boost newborns immune system.
Breastfed babies develop fewer ear infections, have lower risks of asthma, allergies and eczema which means parents miss fewer days of work. There are plenty of benefits for moms too. Nursing helps women lose weight, reduce their risk of postpartum depression, and mothers who have breastfed have 10% lower risk of developing heart disease.
