QUOTE FOR MONDAY:

“Breastfeeding has many benefits for you and your baby. It helps build your baby’s immune system and offers the perfect nutrition. Some of the health benefits to you include a lower risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

Breast milk contains everything your baby needs to grow and develop. It provides a unique and specific formula of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Breast milk supports your baby’s health because it:

  • Is easy for their immature tummy and intestines to digest.
  • Contains antibodies that protect against infection and boost immunity.
  • Has the right amount of fat, sugar, water, protein and vitamins for your baby’s development.
  • Promotes healthy weight gain.
  • Changes in composition to meet your baby’s nutritional needs over time.
  • Contains substances that naturally soothe your baby.”
