Breast is Best!
There is no doubt that breastfeeding is the best way to feed your baby.
But did you know that it:
- Protects them from many ear, urinary tract and chest infections
- Reduces the risk of allergies
- Reduces the risk of obesity or juvenile diabetes
It is not just best for baby, it’s best for you:
Mothers are less likely to suffer from certain ovarian and breast cancers
Plus breastfeeding also…
improves the health of the whole nation as breastfed adults are less likely to suffer with obesity, diabetes, coronary heart disease and hypertension.
reduces health inequalities between rich and poor in our society, most benefitting families living in poverty or disadvantage.
can literally be lifesaving for premature babies and those who are ill at birth.
