Breastfeeding provides many important benefits not only for babies but also for mothers. It helps reduce postpartum bleeding, supports better uterine contraction, and lowers the risk of anemia after childbirth.
Breastfeeding also contributes to emotional stability by reducing stress and lowering the risk of postpartum depression. When practiced exclusively, it can act as a natural method of birth spacing during the first six months, provided menstruation has not returned.
Breastfeeding strengthens the emotional bond between mother and baby. Each feeding involves skin-to-skin contact, eye contact, and loving interaction, which enhances maternal attachment.
In addition, breastfeeding is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution. Mothers do not need to spend money on formula or feeding equipment, and breast milk is always clean, ready to use, and at the ideal temperature without preparation time.
