Wondering why children nowadays develop complicated disease as soon as they are born? Mothers these days are very busy with work and find no time to breastfeed.

Breast feeding is one of the best things a mother should give to her child and its advised that they breast feed for six months and above this is because human breast milk is the healthiest form of milk for babies.

Benefits of breast feeding

1. The average of calories being used while breastfeeding help the mother lose weight after giving birth.
2. Breastfed babies have better arousal from sleep at 2–3 months
3. Breastfeeding appears to reduce the risk of extreme obesity in children
4. Breastfeeding is a cost effective way of feeding an infant, providing nourishment for a child at a small cost to the mother.
5. Breastfeeding may delay the return to fertility for some women by suppressing ovulation. A breastfeeding woman may not ovulate, or have regular periods, during the entire lactation period.
6. During breastfeeding beneficial hormones are released into the mother body and this helps in strengthening the maternal bond.
7. Less risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and endometrial cancer.
8. Breastfeeding helps in preventing allergies in the babies

Women who are breastfeeding need to be careful about what they eat and drink, since things can be passed to the baby through the breast milk. Just like during pregnancy, breastfeeding women should avoid fish that are high in mercury, and limit lower mercury fish intake, alcohol and anything containing caffeine
