Breastfeeding not only benefits babies, but also brings many important health advantages for mothers.
During breastfeeding, the hormone oxytocin is released, helping the uterus contract, reduce postpartum bleeding, relieve pain after childbirth, and support faster physical recovery.
Exclusive breastfeeding during the first 6 months can reduce long-term health risks for mothers, including breast cancer, uterine cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. It can also act as a natural method of birth spacing during the early postpartum period.
Breastfeeding strengthens the emotional bond between mother and baby and helps reduce psychological risks such as stress, anxiety, and postpartum depression.
In addition, breast milk is always available, allowing mothers to feed their babies anytime without the need for formula preparation or bottle sterilization. This saves both time and money, making breastfeeding a convenient and economical choice for families. 🤱💖
