This blog was created to educate women on the importance of breastfeeding for not only the baby but the mother as well. Babies that were breastfed are less likely to have heart disease, can help prevent food allergies, and are less likely to develop childhood asthma. Studies show that babies that were breastfed have higher IQ’s then bottle fed babies. Breastfeeding helps the mother lose weight, lower stress levels, decrease postpartum bleeding, may reduce the risk of cancers later in life, and my reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
