Giving birth is one most magical experiences a woman can endure. After the baby is born however, it is important to provide the baby with the essential nutrients needed for its first few months on earth. Although many women opt out of breastfeeding, breast milk is the most nutritional option for the baby. Breastfeeding is easier to consume than formula. It also provides protection against infections and disease, building the child’s immune system.
Not only is breastfeeding beneficial for the baby, it is helpful for the mother. Breast milk ultimately saves money, where formula and feeding supplies would cost over 1,000 over a time period, breast milk is naturally cheaper. Breastfeeding is also beneficial for mothers. It allows the uterus to contract after birth. The closeness of breastfeeding boosts the mother’s oxytocin levels, which calms the mother.

            The intimate skin to skin connection that breastfeeding provides the mother and child, allow a bond to be created. Breastfeeding is just one option among others for ensuring that your little ball of sunshine gets the nutrients that he/she needs during these early stages of life. Consider breastfeeding as one of your many options to make the baby’s tummy happy.
