Breastfeeding – whether you do it for one day or one year (or more) – provides wonderful physical and emotional benefits for both you and your baby. No matter what factors influence your decisions along your unique parenting journey, here are some 
breastfeeding benefits to consider.
Benefits of Breastfeeding + Breastmilk for Baby:
  • Right after delivery, your colostrum delivers a high concentration of antibodies and helps gently clear your baby’s intestine, decreasing the chance of jaundice.
  • Breastmilk contains antibodies, enzymes and white blood cells that protect your baby from viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections and illnesses during breastfeeding. These benefits may even continue after your baby is weaned.
  • Breastmilk encourages the growth of probiotics and “good bacteria” in the baby’s digestive tract, reducing the risk of diarrheal diseases and helping baby establish a healthy immune system.
  • Breastfeeding supports brain development, improving IQ scores later in life. Also, children who were breastfed showed better understanding of language at age 3 and better verbal and nonverbal intelligence at 7.
  • The immune components in breastmilk provide protection against milk allergy, eczema, and wheezing early in life.
  • Breastfeeding may prevent obesity and encourage a healthy lifestyle as your child grows older.
  • Breastfed babies are less likely to suffer from ear infections, vomiting, diarrhea, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and certain types of spinal meningitis.
  • Breastfeeding lowers the risk of SIDS.
  • Breastfeeding facilitates a special bond between mom and baby and promotes lower stress levels.
  • The sucking motion of feeding at the breast strengthens oral muscles, facial bones, and supports optimal dental development.
  • Breastfeeding increases the effectiveness of immunizations such as polio, tetanus, and diphtheria vaccines.
  • Premature babies who are fed breastmilk throughout their NICU stay are discharged on average one to two weeks sooner than those who received little or no breastmilk.
  • Breastfed infants are more protected against chronic conditions like celiac’s disease, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, and some childhood cancers.
