10 Reasons Why I Support Breastfeeding
This week is World Breastfeeding Week and to show my support for all breastfeeding moms here is a list of 10 reasons why I support breastfeeding. I have been breastfeeding my 3 kids and am still breastfeeding 10.5 month old Tiger Girl.
- It ensures that your infant gets the best and most natural nutrients to ensure healthy growth.
- I can save a lot of milk powder money as breast milk is free.
- I can save the trouble and hassle of having to wash bottles and sterilize them before the next feed.
- It helps me bond with my child and makes her reassured that I’m around for her.
- It boosts your child’s immunity through the antibodies passed to them during breastfeeding. My #3 has been extremely healthy since she was born and her brothers do not fall ill as often as other kids their age.
- It is associated with higher IQ as artificial chemicals and stimulants are not introduced to your child.
- It is convenient and I only need to invest in a good breastfeeding shield to prevent any awkward moments.
- Helps to facilitate proper dental and jaw development of the child.
- Helps the mummy (me) get back into shape and reduce weight faster.
- Reduces the chance of breast cancer for both mother and child.
