The joys of Breastfeeding

As moms we always want the best for our babies, and that includes giving them the proper nourishment they need. So as much as possible, i always try to breastfeed my baby. But its a big challenge especially for working moms like me. It takes a lot of patience and dedication. But why not put in the effort if it will benefit your child?

The experience of breastfeeding is beneficial for so many reasons:
For babies:
-reduces the risk of constipation and colic
-protection against several disease and infections like influenza and diarrhea
-child receives the most complete nutrients and antibodies
-reduces the risk of SIDS or sudden infant death syndrome
-reduces the risk of tooth decay
-helps improve brain development
-bonding experience for baby and mommy
-breastfed babies smells great (true!)

For mommies:
-helps mommies to return to their original figure faster as it promotes weight loss
-helps reduce the risk of breast and cervical cancer
-helps mommies to save money from buying infant formula
-convenient especially when travelling (milk is available anytime, no hassle!)
