The
Benefits of Breastfeeding
BlessingWay
supports your right to know bottle-feeding and breastfeeding
are not comparable. Breastfed babies have better brain development,
less sickness, lower risk of allergies and asthma, decreased
risk of SIDS, better jaw, teeth and eye development and
are less likely to develop childhood cancers, diabetes and
rheumatoid arthritis.
In addition,
mothers who breastfeed reduce their chances of breast and
ovarian cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes and even heart disease!
New research now reveals that breastfeeding also protects
women from rheumatoid arthritis later in life. The longer
a mother breastfeeds, the greater the protection.
