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.
