1. It saves you from breast cancer. Breastfeeding reduces.
When you breastfeed your baby, that will lessen the risk of developing breast cancer 25%. The more time a mother breastfeeds her baby, the lower her risk she is prone to breast cancer.
2. It saves you from uterine and ovarian cancer.
Breastfeeding also is one of the reasons that help your uterine and ovarian fight cancer effects and that because of the estrogen levels which become in lower levels during breastfeeding. It is thought that the less estrogen available to stimulate the lining of the uterus and perhaps breast tissue also, the less the risk of these tissues becoming cancerous.
3. It saves you from osteoporosis.
Breastfeeding also reduces the risk of osteoporosis 25%. The non-breastfeeding women have a four times greater chance of developing osteoporosis and hip fractures in the post-menopausal years than those breastfeeding women.
4. It gives you the chance for child spacing.
It is very known that breastfeeding delays ovulation and of course delays the pregnancy too. The longer a mother breastfeeds the more she is able to practice natural child spacing,
5. It supports emotional health.
Studies showed that breastfeeding not only good for a mother's body, but also good for her mind. It was obvious through these studies that breastfeeding mothers show less postpartum and depression than non-breastfeeding mothers.
6. It supports postpartum weight loss.
Breastfeeding mothers showed significantly larger reductions in hip circumference and more fat loss by one month postpartum when compared with formula-feeding mothers. Breastfeeding mothers tend to have an earlier return to their pre-pregnant weight.
7. It helps to reduce the cost of lactation.
It costs around $1,200 a year to formula-feed your baby. Even taking into consideration the slight increase in food costs to a breastfeeding mother, the American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that a breastfeeding mother will save around $400 during the first year of breastfeeding.
