Breastfeeding Support

Babies who are breastfed have fewer illnesses and hospitalizations than those who are bottle-fed. Many diseases children come in contact with during the first six months of life can’t be immunized against. However, breast milk has a natural quality that provides protection.

Many babies are allergic to common food products, such a cow’s milk and soy, as well as environmental allergens.

Breastfed babies have less constipation, less diarrhea, and fewer irritations of the stomach.

Through the close contact that breastfeeding provides, a mother is more “in tune” with her child and the process of parenting is easier.

It promotes faster weight loss after birth, stimulates the uterus to contract and return to its normal size, reduces postpartum bleeding, and provides an environment in which there are less urinary tract infections and less chance of anemia.
