Breastfeeding has many benefits for both mother and baby.

Breastmilk gives the baby more vital immune systems and reduces infant mortality due to malnourishment. Also, breastfed babies have a lower risk of Obesity, type 1 diabetes, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), asthma, diarrhoea and other infections. 

Breastfeeding boosts brain development and has also been linked to higher IQ and intelligence in children and adolescents.

Breastfeeding likewise contributes immensely to the well-being and health of mothers. It promotes faster weight loss after birth, reduces the risk of postpartum haemorrhage and ovarian and breast cancer and strengthens the mother-child bond.

Step up for Breastfeeding today!
