Breastfeeding benefits everyone. Your baby gets superior nutrition, resistance to infections, and is less likely to develop allergies.
Breastfed babies have fewer stomach upsets no constipation.
Breastfeeding contributes to proper jaw and mouth development. Breastfed infants tend to have fewer incidences of cavities and need fewer orthodontic corrections later in life. Breastfed babies are smarter because of better brain development. Breastfeeding's protection from illness is most evident during a baby's first six months, but remains in effect as long as the child is nursing and beyond. The breastfed infant also benefits emotionally.
