New - Relax… You’re Breastfeeding!
Relax… You’re Breastfeeding!
You’re
a new mother. There are great moments
-- baby’s sweet smile and first cooing happy sounds. Then there are the tough moments – feedings at 3 am (and 4 am,
and 5 am…), the first cold, and teething.
But when you’re breastfeeding you’ve got less to worry about! And less worries make life easier.
Relaxation
sometimes sounds like a foreign word when you’ve got a newborn to care
for. Nursing moms get more rest and
have a great reason to sit down and put their feet up! The hormones released when a woman nurses
have a relaxing effect.
No
warming bottles in the middle of the night.
No worrying that when you travel you’ll need to stop to find somewhere
to warm a bottle or run out of formula.
No wondering if the baby is allergic to the brand of formula you’ve
chosen or if it’s too expensive for your budget.
Breastmilk
is the perfect food for your child. It
has the ideal balance of nutrients and antibodies, and it changes as your child
grows to match your child’s needs. It’s
always ready to go at the perfect temperature.
Here
are just a few of the benefits of breastfeeding for your baby:
- Proper
oral development, enhanced speech, and straighter teeth
- Lower
risk of tooth decay
- Improved
hand-eye coordination
- Stronger
immune system (your breastmilk contains powerful antibodies to protect
your baby and boost immunity)
- Protection
against common respiratory and intestinal diseases
- An IQ
boost of 10-12 points
- Lowered
risk of SIDS (for every 87 SIDS deaths, only 3 are breastfed)
- … and so
much more!
There
are benefits for you, too:
- Reduced
risks of breast, ovarian, cervical and endometrial cancers
- Protection
against anemia and osteoporosis
- Helps
your body return to it’s pre-pregnancy state faster
- Helps
delay return of fertility and to space subsequent pregnancies
- Lower
cost of health care and fewer visits to the doctor
Think
even bigger! Did you know that
breastfeeding has wonderful effects for planet Earth? You’re helping to reduce global pollution by decreasing the use
of resources and energy required to produce, process, package, distribute,
promote, and dispose of materials created by manufacturing and using artifical
baby milk.
With
all the benefits of breastfeeding, the most personal is the amazing bond
between a mother and child. There’s
nothing like the knowledge that your body produced the milk that keeps your
baby healthy and growing.
Sure,
there can be challenges that come with nursing, but you can overcome them
because it’s worth it. You can relax…
you’re giving your baby the best tasting, best start in life, and doing yourself, and the planet, a favor as
well. Fabulous decision, mom!
