 Importance of Breastfeeding
To
Baby…..
 It provides the ideal nutrition for infants (vitamins, protein,
and fats).
  It contains antibodies that help your baby fight off viruses
and bacteria. 
 Breastfed infants are more likely to gain the right amount
of weight as they grow rather than become overweight
children. 
 The physical closeness, skin-to-skin touching, and eye
contact all help your baby bond with you and feel secure. 
 Importance of Breastfeeding
To
Mother…..
 Breastfeeding burns extra calories, so it can help you
lose pregnancy weight faster.
 It releases the hormone oxytocin, which helps your
uterus return to its pre-pregnancy size and may
reduce uterine bleeding after birth.
 Breastfeeding also lowers your risk of breast
and ovarian cancer, and osteoporosis.

to pregnancy, including the side effects of early or
late childbearing.

of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS.
 Other forms of family planning can normalise the
hormone levels in a woman’s body.
 It can make intimate life less stressful and much more
enjoyable.
