As a mother, you want to make informed decisions about the health of your baby and yourself, one of which could be whether or not to breastfeed. Science has found that there may be some long lasting benefits to breastfeeding and it may be more than a lifestyle choice. It has now been proven that any amount of time that you can nurse could help both you and your baby, such as:
1. Protects against infection and illness and helps stimulate the immune system for newborns.
2. Protection from allergies: breastfeeding, even for short periods has been clearly associated with lower incidence of wheezing, prolonged colds, diarrhea, and vomiting.
3. Enhances development and intelligence: social development and higher IQ
4. Stronger dental health: the longer the duration of nursing the lower the incidents of malocclusion.
5. Help for mommy too! Among both premenopausal and postmenopausal women, risk of breast cancer decreases with increasing duration of lifetime lactation experience.
While breastfeeding isn’t the only option for feeding your baby, every mother has the potential to succeed and make it a wonderful experience.
