We have breasts for a very important reason - to feed our young. Breastfeeding helps promote the bond between mother and child. When a woman breastfeeds, hormones are produced in her body that help her relax and bond with her baby. Breastmilk contains immunities that are passed to your child. Breastfed children get sick less often.
Breastfed children get fewer ear infections, childhood lymphomas, and diabetes.
Breastmilk composition changes from week to week, from day to day, from hour to hour, and during a feeding. It is always the perfect food for your child. Breastfeeding raises children's IQs. Breastfeeding reduces your chance of getting breast cancer and your daughter's chance of getting it as an adult. Breastfeeding is great for the environment.
