Breastfeeding

 

For Mother, breastfeeding:

  • Is convenient; there's nothing to buy, carry, heat or measure
  • Gives you time & helps you relax
  • Speeds up post-partum healing
  • Saves up to $2000/year in feeding costs

For Baby, breastfeeding:

  • Provides all the nutrients needed and in the right amounts
  • Causes less spit up & stomach aches because it's so easy to digest
  • Lowers risks of allergies, earaches, weight problems, SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome), and other childhood illnesses
