Why Women Should Breast Feed-4 Great Reasons

1.Infection

If baby is breast-fed for at least 3 months, he/she is less likely to suffer from diarrhoea, chest infections and stomach problems, such as gastroenteritis. And if breast-fed for longer than 4 months, has less chance of getting ear infections.

2.Allergies

If baby is breast-fed even for a short length of time, he/she has a 20% less chance of an allergy attack up to around the age of seven, taking into account other issues, such as parents who smoke, overcrowding and poverty. Gluten allergies are also less likely to occur in later life.

3.General Health

If baby is breast-fed up to 1 year old there is a lesser chance of diabetes in later life and it has been found that, in relation to premature babies, who are fed with breast milk through a tube, have a higher IQ in comparison to their counterparts fed with formula milk. Gut infections are also less likely to occur in breast-fed babies.

4.Advantage to Mother

The benefits of breastfeeding to the mother are many. She knows she is giving the best start to her new baby, in term of nutrition, and this, in itself, gives her a sense of joy. From the point of view of weight control, breastfeeding can use up to 500 calories a day which will help mom to get back to her pre-baby weight.

And from a practical viewpoint, theres no equipment( except maybe a breast pump) needed and no need for sterilisation, this is great when doing the night feeds. It means that mom and baby can get settled and back to sleep quicker. All in all Breast feeding is without doubt the best start for give your new baby and will stand to him/her throughout life.
