Another amazing benefit of breastfeeding for some moms: it can reduce the symptoms of chronic illness, such as rheumatoid arthritis, MS, lupus, and diabetes! So as good as this stuff is for your baby, the hormonal shift that happens to mom’s body can sometimes help mom go into a temporary remission. There’s a better chance of this if the baby gets 100% of his or her milk from mom. Terrific stuff!

breastfeeding mama whales are amazing !

whale mamas literally nurse their babies in the ocean, no bottles. no breaks. no latch drama.

their milk is thick like cream cheese, nearly 50% fat, so it clings underwater without losing a drop.

their babies gain up to 200 pounds a day.
just from milk.
just from their mama.

no sleep training. no feeding schedules.
just instinct, connection, and deep-sea cuddles.

i bet no one’s asking her when she’s moving her baby to seal milk 🫠🫠

Moms who breastfeed have a lower risk of having a heart attack in later life. They also have a lower risk of high cholesterol and heart disease in general. Wow.

Another AMAZING fact about breastfeeding: colostrum, which is what your baby gets for a few days before your milk comes in, is tailored to your specific baby! A recent study found that the levels of protein, carbs, and fat vary, depending on whether baby is born small, appropriote, or large for gestational age. Formula certainly can’t do that! Yay breastmilk!!!❤️

Diabetes….women who have gestational diabetes during pregnancy have a greater chance of developing type 2 diabetes later in life, and some studies show a ten times greater chance of developing it! But guess what-if you nurse that baby, you lower your chances of ever developing diabetes and the longer you nurse, the less chance you’ll have of developing it.

Just heard this: breastfeeding your body remodel the pancreas and helps prevent pancreatic cancer!!!! My own mother died of pancreatic cancer. I wonder if she had breastfed her 2 children if she might not have died from that…..and the longer you nurse, the more your body provides you this protection. Amazing stuff!

Did you know that nursing postpones the return of your menstrual period? For most women, there will be a delay of a few months to a year or 2. I mean, really? Isn’t that enough reason to nurse?😂😂😂
