August 1-7 is World Breastfeeding Week!
🤱Whether you are working on breastfeeding, exclusively breastfeeding, pumping, or breast + formula feeding, we want you to know what an amazing mama you are!
🤱Breastfeeding is not only good for your baby but also good for mom’s health as well!
- 🫀Breastfeeding lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease
- 🏃♀️➡️It burns calories helping you lose that baby weight.
- It decreases the risk of breast and ovarian cancer
Breastfeeding is the best form of nutrition for your new baby
- 👶As your baby grows, your breast milk changes to adapt to baby’s changing needs!!
- 🍼Breast milk is easier for your baby to digest as compared to formula, decreasing the risk of constipation, acid reflux, and gas.
- 🦠Breast milk has antibodies to protect your baby against certain illnesses that can cause ear infections, diarrhea, respiratory infections, and allergies
- Breastfeeding decreases the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
It is recommended that babies are exclusively fed breast milk for the first 6 months.
Whatever your method of feeding is, however, we are here to support you and your new baby!
