While breastfeeding isn't for everyone, there are some valid reasons and benefits for doing so for both mother and baby. Here are the top five reasons and benefits of breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding has been proven to help mothers lose the extra weight gained throughout pregnancy after giving birth. Breastfeeding mothers get back to their normal weight faster than mothers who bottle feed.
Breastfeeding also helps your uterus return to its pre-pregnancy size quicker than those who choose the bottle over breastfeeding. This is a natural bodily function due to feeding a baby naturally.
Of course all mothers establish a bond with their babies, but nursing mothers form a closer and more intimate bond with their babies when breastfeeding.
Scientific research has proven that breastfeeding infants reduces the mother's chances of developing both breast cancer and ovarian cancer in later years. This is a very important health benefit to nursing mothers.
Osteoporosis is a medical condition that causes bones to become very weak and fragile. Little things can cause the bones to fracture easily, just from coughing or sneezing. Minor falls are especially bad, leading to broken bones of the leg, hip or arms.
