Breastfeeding helps protect your baby against:

  • ear, chest & urine infections
  • gastro-intestinal infections
  • childhood diabetes
  • eczema & asthma
  • obesity
and helps protect you against ovarian cancer and breast cancer

Breastfeeding saves time & money!

  • Breastfeeding is free - in fact it saves you an estimated £450 across a year
  • Breastfeeding is always available & instantly at the right temperature
  • It's estimated that the NHS spends at least £35million per year treating gastro-enteritis in bottle-fed babies in England

Breastfeeding is best for your baby - it's official!

  • The World Health Organisation says:
    "Breastfeeding is the best form of nutrition for infants. Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months (26 weeks) of an infant's life as it provides all the nutrients a baby needs".
  • UNICEF estimate that 1.5 million babies worldwide die each each year because they are not breastfeed.

Breastfeeding aids mothers & baby bonding

  • Breastfeeding stimulates the release of the hormone oxytocin. This hormone stimulates uterine contractions & milk ejection and promotes the development of maternal behaviour & bonding between mother & baby

Women can cut their risk of rheumatoid arthritis by 50 percent simply by breastfeeding for a year or longer, according to a study conducted by researchers from Malmo University Hospital in Sweden, and published in the "Annals of Rheumatic Diseases."

Scientists have wondered whether breastfeeding might affect the risk of rheumatoid arthritis, because it stimulates the production of two hormones that may have some connection to the disease.
