Invaluable benefits of breastfeeding

The benefits of breastfeeding should be reminded at every opportunity to promote breastfeeding. They are invaluable for the baby, but also for the mother.

- Breastfeeding is beneficial for brain development.

- Beyond 3 months, exclusive breastfeeding reduces the frequency and severity of infections, digestive, respiratory and ENT.

- Extended beyond 6 months, it reduces the risk of allergic infants at risk.

- Breastfeeding contributes to the prevention of obesity in childhood and adolescence.

- Lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels in adulthood.

- A breastfeeding mother loses weight faster after childbirth.

- The risk of breast and ovarian cancer before menopause is decreased, while later, the increased risk of osteoporosis is canceled.

In conclusion, breastfeeding should be exclusive, as long as possible: 3 to 4 months is good, and 6 months is even better!

Rest breastfeeding is not always obvious, for both baby and mother.
