Employees who breast feed take fewer sick days for themselves or their children and are often more productive on the job.
Breast feeding helps to protect women against breast and ovarian cancer, anemia and osteoporosis.
Breast feeding reduces health care costs, since breast fed babies make fewer sick visits to the doctor or emergency room. Babies who are not breast fed are 10 times more likely to be hospitalized for an infection than babies who are breast fed. The art of breast feeding is nurtured by the support of families, friends and the whole community.
