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.
