Why Breastfeeding?

  • Human milk protects babies in ways that formula cannot.
  • Human milk is easier to digest and contains more than 200 components that babies need in the early months of life.
  • Breast milk protects infants by lowering the risk of many illnesses like ear infections, gastrointestinal diseases, infections, allergies, and diarrhea.
  • Children who have been breastfed have less risk of becoming overweight or obese, even as adults.
  • Breastfeeding is good for moms: Mothers who breastfed are less likely to get osteoporosis, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer. 
  • Lack of breastfeeding is a risk factor for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
  • Breastfeeding can save families money through reducing health care costs and formula costs.
