How breast feeding benefit moms




  1. Reducing breast cancer risk.Women who breastfeed reduce their risk of developing breast cancer by as much as 25 percent. The reduction in cancer risk comes in proportion to the cumulative lifetime duration of breastfeeding. That is, the more months or years a mother breastfeeds, the lower her risk of breast cancer.
  2. Benefit child spacing. Breast feeding causes us to ovulate later.
  3. Promotes good emotional health and bond with child.Some mothers get very emotional when they are unable to breastfeed. If you are able to,you are very lucky. (Remember to use the right techniques!)
  4. Lessen osteoperosis.Women who don't breastfeed are 4times likely to have hip fracture after menopause.
  5. Help you to loose pregnancy weight.Mothers who breastfeed tend to return to their pre-pregnancy size faster than moms who feed their child on formula.They also have more fat lost and large hip circumference within one month compared to those who don't.
  6. Easy on the money. Baby milk/formula can cost you. Breast feeding definitely would reduce cost and...you don't have to constantly prepare milk for your child.
