8 Benefits for Breastfeeding Moms
Breastfeeding isn't just great for baby. There are significant health, emotional, and financial benefits for mom, too!
In fact, breastfeeding…
- Decreases breast cancer risk and may decrease the risk of ovarian and uterine cancer.
- Reduces the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
- It may lessen the severity of postpartum depression. Breastfeeding triggers the release of oxytocin (the "love hormone") and prolactin, hormones that help with relaxation and reduce stress.
- Burns extra calories, which may make it easier to lose weight after pregnancy.
- Helps your uterus return to its normal size and lessens bleeding you may experience after birth.
- Saves valuable time! No need to purchase, measure or mix formula, and no bottles to warm in the middle of the night.
- Is free - at least the breastmilk! Even if you are pumping, a good pump and accessories are less expensive than formula. (And you may even get your pump for free!)
- Is environmentally friendly.
