Sure, you're hip to multiple facts about breastfeeding, but check out this fresh list of nursing perks that extend to both you AND your little one.

2. 1. A healthier Baby
Breast milk works as the antibiotic for the baby as it stops
many diseases to attack the baby’s body like pneumonia, colds
and viruses. The statements from infant-nutrition expert Ruth
A. Lawrence, M.D, professor of pediatrics and OB-GYN at the
University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in
Rochester, N.Y, and the author of breastfeeding says that baby
would never been go through the symptoms of diarrhea and
other gastrointestinal infections.

3. 2. Long-Term Protection
Such chronic conditions like type I diabetes, celiac
disease and Crohn’s disease have the lower risks of
developing the baby’s body upon the breastfeeding.

4. 3. Stronger Bones
Women who prefer to breastfeeding, they will never
affected by the postmenopausal osteoporosis. Before
pregnancy, the breast milk production becomes higher
in rate and the women body absorbs more calcium.
After few months of delivery, the bones of spine and
hips become heavier and stronger as compare to pre-
pregnancy.

5. 4. Lower SIDS Risks
Sudden infant death syndrome is very much popular
among new born babies. The breastfeeding helps in
lowering the risk of SIDS about a half percent in babies.

6. 5. Fever Problems with
Weight
Women have found great benefit towards the weight
that they will never be on obesity while breastfeeding
their babies.

7. 6. A Calorie Incinerator
It is proved by Lawrence that nursing your baby will
decrease the fats up to 500 calories in a day. Breast
milk contains 20 calories in one ounce so if a woman
feeds her baby 20 ounces per day, 400 calories of her
body will be reduced.

8. 7. It’s Good for the Earth
The formulation of milk powder is subsidizing the
infants and contributing to the global warming in which
dairy cows are used. The earth would be safe from the
methane (enormous greenhouse gas) into the
atmosphere.

9. 8. Better Healing Post
Delivery
Breastfeeding also serve your body to cleanse post-
delivery. A substance called oxytocin is released while a
woman nurses her baby due to which uterus contract
and reduces the blood loss post-delivery. Breastfeeding
mother will get their uterus turn to the normal size for
about six weeks postpartum. On the other hand, those
women who never feed their babies will have 10 weeks
of preparation of the normal uterus.

10. 9. Less Risk of Cancer
A benefit for baby while on breastfeeding will decrease
the risk of childhood cancers. In women, it decreases
the risk of premenopausal breast cancer and ovarian
cancer.

11. 10. An Unmatched Feeling of
Power
Mother feels wonderful as she see her baby grow more
rapidly on the breast milk alone, said by Lawrence.

12. 11. A Custom-Made Supply
After the delivery, the first milk secretion is released called colostrum
is full of antibodies which protects the newborn baby all the way. The
small amount of colostrum is good enough for the baby’s hunger as it
contains the higher amount of protein. This statement is established
by Heather Kelly, an international board-certified lactation consultant
in New York City and a member of Bravado Breastfeeding Information
Council’s advisory board.
The production of full milk starts just after two to three days of post-
delivery. It is even higher in amount of sugar and density than
colostrum and that’s a necessary requirement of baby. It would be
better for a mother to feed her baby frequently to increase the fuel
and his rapid growth. It is explained by Kelly that mature milk secretion
is quickly digested by the baby so he will eat easily.

13. 12. More Effective Vaccines
Vaccination picks up the antibody response much
better in breastfeed babies as compare to somewhat
formula-fed babies.

14. 13. A Menstruation Vacation
Breastfeeding your baby time to time during a day without
feeding him on bottles or other formula will stop the
ovulation in mothers which means delayed menstruation.
Prolactin is released in advanced way that it suppresses
upon the estrogen and progesterone so ovulation is not
generated.
As the levels of prolactin fall, estrogen and progesterone
becomes active due to which ovulation takes place thus
menstrual periods starts. There are several moms who
breastfeed their babies will get their menstruation return
between six and eight months post-delivery.

15. 14. Less Time Off Work
The risk of illness is less often in babies, mothers will
have good days then.

16. 15. It’s Cheap
Breastfeeding is cheap as it never needs money but just
your time. According to La Leche League International,
if we take a look at the cost of formula milks, we will
come to know that it has the range from $134 to $491
in one month. By the calculation, it has been estimated
that in a year, the expenditure would be $1,608 to
$5,892.

17. 16. A Great Way to Learn
About Your Baby
A mother would be able to identify the baby’s health
that how much it is empowering through the amount
of breastfeeding he generally feeds in a day. Disparate
with a bottle, you will never know how much he is
eaten. In this way, behavior of your baby would be in
front of his mother after his stomach is full.

18. 17. You can Stockpile the
Condoms
Breastfeed is meant to be the best way for baby birth
control. It has chances of about 99 percent of birth control
option. But women should follow some points that they
should breastfeed their babies for approximately every four
hours so the menstrual periods would not resumed. Do not
make your baby’s habit on pacifiers, bottles or formula. The
postpartum should be for less than six months.
Do not let your baby sleep through feeding at night time as
night time feeding is important to process the amenorrhea
method. There is a chance of ovulation when night time
nursing is not done properly.

19. 18. There’s Nothing Easier
Breast milk is always available at the right temperature.
The secretion is produced after every half and one an
hour. Women should pull up their shirt and nurse the
babies.

20. 19. There’s Nothing Easier
It has found from the research published in the journal
pediatrics, the 90 percent of U.S. family’s mothers
prefer to breastfeed their newborn babies for at least
six months and therefore the saving in this country is
about $13 billion in a year in medical costs.

21. 20. Better Friendships
Nursing starts relationships with other moms. They can
talk about their baby’s habits by sitting together to
discuss the baby’s nature and caring them softly. The
basic and important steps of parenting, nighttime
feeding could be easily understand with the
experienced mothers.
