Why breastfeed?
The benefits of breastmilk are, dare we say, infinite: whether it is for the baby, the mother, or for the community.
We’ve tried to list the main ones here:
Mom reasons:
Bonding with baby
Losing pregnancy weight
Reduced risk of breast cancer
Calming effect on mum
Time saving (no need to prepare, heat, sterilize bottles of formula)
Money saving
Great while travelling- no extra baggage
Baby reasons:
Custom made nutrition (breastmilk composition changes based on gender, growth phase and health needs)
Defense against disease
Better overall growth and development
Formula is harder to digest
Better dental structure
Better self-regulation
As teething relief
As a skin cleanser
Calms baby
Community/Environment reasons:
Cost-effective
Environment friendly
Saves lives in natural disasters (storms, pandemics) or formula shortage
Disclaimer: no judgment whatever you decide as a parent.
But remember to make a knowledge-based decision, not fear or opinion driven.
We believe fed is best!
