Breastfeeding Helps Mom

Emotional Assistance – Mom and baby feel calmer and happier​

Fast Recovery – Mom recovers from delivery much faster and can burn up to 600 extra calories a day

Saves Money – Breastfeeding saves money. Formula can cost more than $1500 a year!

Lowers Risk of Breast Cancer – Mom is less likely to get breast and ovarian cancer, diabetes, and heart disease (the leading cause of death for women)

The Longer Mom breastfeeds, the better for mom and baby – The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding your baby for 1 year or longer, and feeding him only breastmilk for the first 6 months. Celebrate when you meet these goals.
