Top 8 Reasons You Should Breastfeed




  • Delay the return of your periods, giving you a break from that "time of the month." This may not always be the case, so don't count on it as a birth control method.








  • Decrease rates of breast and ovarian cancers.






  • Reduce your risk of post partum depression.






  • Lower your risk of hip fractures and osteoporosis in menopause. Some studies hint at this decreased risk, though more research is needed.






  • Create a strong mother-baby bond. The cuddling, skin-to-skin and eye-to-eye contact during breast-feeding can create a wonderful bond between you and your baby.






  • Require less maintenance. There are no bottles or nipples to sterilize. Also, breast-feeding has a low chance of contamination. No special cleansing of the nipple is needed.






  • Save money. Breast milk is free, where bottle-feeding can get expensive for the formula, bottles and nipples.






  • Make your life easier. No need to purchase, measure and mix formula, or get up to warm a bottle in the middle of the night.
