Breastfeeding is one of the best things that you can do for your baby! Babies get antibodies that are passed from mom to prevent against infection. Breastfed babies will have a lower risk of ear, gastrointestinal, and respiratory infections. They will have a lower risk of obesity and type II diabetes. They develop a healthy gut microbiome from the start.
Mamas there are also benefits for you too. Breastfeeding moms have decreased risks of ovarian and breast cancer. Decreased risks of type II diabetes and high blood pressures with return to prepregnancy weight sooner. As well as decreased risk of postpartum depression.
The benefits go on and on.. but the bottom line is that there is no other nutrition as good as breast milk for babies. It is specifically made for them from the start!
