The Benefits Of Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding has many benefits for both mothers and babies that have been thoroughly researched. The American Association of Pediatrics, as well as the American College For Obstetricians and Gynecologists, suggest exclusively breastfeeding for at least the first 6 months of an infant’s life in order to reap these benefits. While baby formula has the vitamins and nutrients that a baby needs, breast milk has added value that formula cannot recreate.  

• Breast milk is specifically designed to meet the needs of your individual baby. This means it is easier for babies to digest than formula, and results in fewer cases of constipation or diarrhea.

• Nursing helps valuable antibodies pass from the mother to the baby, which helps the little one build a strong immune system and fight off infections and viruses. Babies who are breastfed have lower rates of respiratory infections, meningitis, and other sicknesses.

• Infants who are breastfed for the first six months of life or longer typically gain the right amount of weight, rather than gaining too much weight. This helps them to enter childhood at a healthy weight.

• Breastfeeding has been shown to have long-term benefits for babies as well. Babies who are breastfed have a lower risk of developing chronic diseases during childhood and adolescence such as asthma, allergies, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, and obesity.

• Nursing can burn 300-400 calories per day, which can help mothers to lose baby weight more quickly.

• Mothers who breastfeed report fewer cases of postpartum depression, and also report feeling confident in their ability to provide the nutrition that their baby needs.

• When a mother nurses her baby, she releases a hormone called oxytocin. This hormone helps to strengthen the bond between mother and child, but also helps the uterus to contract and return to pre-pregnancy size more quickly than mothers who do not breastfeed. This helps to reduce the amount of postpartum bleeding.
