Reasons to Breastfeed Your Baby…

(But are not limited to)

* Breast milk is custom-made for your baby.
* Breastfed babies tend to be better disciplined.
* Breastfeeding helps get mom back in to shape.
* Breast milk provides valuable antibodies against disease.
* Nursing shows a marked decrease against ear infections.
* Breast fed babies have a higher IQ (anywhere from 8.3 to 10+%).
* Breast Milk has the right ingredients, many which can NOT be duplicated by formula companies.
* Breast milk is always fresh, at the right temperature, always the right amount, and already packaged!
* There’s mutual giving between mother and baby: mother gives baby her milk, baby gives mom a release of the hormone prolatcin, which in turns promote motherly instincts and feelings.
* Breastfeeding helps mom and baby relax. (Baby gets a natural sleep inducing protein in the milk; mom gets the natural tranquilizer released by baby’s sucking: the hormone prolactin.
* Women who breastfeed at least a year (doesn’t have to be consecutively) have a reduce rate of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, and are protected against osteoporosis.
* Breastfeeding is less expensive (no formula, healthier babies means low cost medical bills, don’t have to buy bottles and related items.)
