Benefits of breastfeeding for mother and child.

• Benefits of breastfeeding for mother:

1. Breastfeeding delays the return of menstruation, and is therefore considered a natural contraceptive that helps the mother maintain a sufficient healthy period between each pregnancy.
2. Resorting to breastfeeding helps to recover faster and easier from childbirth.
3. Helps protect the mother from many future diseases, such as high blood pressure, heart disease and high cholesterol.
4. Many studies have shown that resorting to breastfeeding reduces the incidence of breast and ovarian cancer later.

• Benefits of breastfeeding for the child:

The mother’s immune system works to create antibodies to germs that she and her baby may be exposed to, and these antibodies reach the baby through breast milk in an easier way. Natural milk also contains many nutrients such as enzymes and antioxidants, which make it easier for your baby’s body to absorb and benefit from them.

Breastfeeding your baby includes many benefits, for example:

1. Makes the child’s immune system stronger.
2. Incidence of less diseases in general.
3. Makes him less susceptible to meningitis
4. Less exposure to digestive problems, and reduces the child’s chance of constipation or diarrhea.
5. Reduces the child’s chance of breathing problems.
6. Reduces the chance of ear infections.
