Learn about the benefits of breastfeeding, the breastfeeding problems of a new mom, how to prepare for breastfeeding and more. Breastfeeding can provide food and nutrition for your baby’s first six months, without the requirement of any additional source of food. Certain naturally-formed proteins and antibodies present in breast milk cannot be formulated in a laboratory. It means exclusively formula-fed babies will lack these proteins. Breastfeeding is also beneficial for the mother as it eliminates the risks for breasts and ovarian cancer, helps her burn calories, and provides natural contraception among other benefits. Breastfeeding boosts your baby’s immunity, protecting her from infections, common cold and sinus. Breastfeeding also provides a bonding time between the mother and the baby. While the baby feels nurtured and close to the mother, the mother as well gets to calm down and relax during nursing.
