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

Tuesday, 30 November 1999 00:00

UK News Icon Feeding babies on breast milk can help protect them from developing asthma, according to a study.

Mothers pass on immunity to some infections through their breast milk, it is believed, while infants strengthen their lungs more by suckling on a nipple rather than on a bottle.

Researchers studied almost 1,500 British babies and followed them up four times at the ages of one, two, four and 10.

Monday, 09 February 2009 00:02

World News Icon Add yet another potential benefit to breast-feeding: Fewer behavioral problems in young children.

Parents of youngsters who were breast-fed as infants were less likely to report that their child had a behavior problem or psychiatric illness during the first five years of life, a new study found.
