Mother's milk is the ideal food for new babies. It has everything your baby needs to grow up healthy and strong. Breastmilk is easier to digest and contains all the nutrients that babies need, in the right amounts. Breastmilk protects your baby from getting sick. Breastfed babies are less likely to have allergies.
Breastfed babies have less problems with constipation and diarrhea.
With breastfeeding, a special closeness will form between you and your baby. You may have a sense of satisfaction because you are doing something for your baby that no one else can do. Breastfeeding can save you money - no formula to buy, less missed days of work for you, and less doctor's bills because your baby may be sick less often. While breastfeeding, you will have a free hand to use for reading a book to your older children or for cuddling them. Breastfeeding helps get your uterus to its prepregnant size more quickly.
