12 Good reasons to breastfeed your baby! 1. Most nutritious way to feed your baby - the composition of breast milk changes over time to adapt to a growing baby's needs. 2. Not only satisifies hunger, but emotional needs as well - helps you develop a strong bond with your baby. 3. Reduces your baby's risk of developing childhood illness. 4. Enhances cognitive development - the lower IQs of formula-fed babies are said to be due to poor nutrition. 5. Protects against obesity - breastfed babies regulate their own feedings from the beginning, which helps them develop healthier eating patterns. 6. More easily digested than formula milk. 7. Breastfed babies have better speech development - bottle fed babies often attempt to slow milk flow, which can lead to tongue thrusting problems. 8. Helps shrink your uterus back to pre-pregnancy size. 9. Helps you to lose pregnancy weight - breastfeeding burns an extra 500 calories a day! 10. Reduces your risk of cancer - breast, endometrial or ovarian. 11. More convenient - always fresh, clean, safe and at the right temperature and it's FREE! 12. Breast milk tastes better and breastfed babies have a pleasant smell (especially nappy changing!). |
