Benefits for Your Baby…

Breast milk provides much more than nutrition: it helps protect your baby every day.

Thanks to the cells, hormones and antibodies it naturally contains, breast milk supports your baby’s developing immune system.

Research shows that breastfed babies may have a lower risk of:

  • Asthma.
  • Overweight and obesity.
  • Type 1 diabetes.
  • Ear, nose and throat (ENT) and respiratory infections.
  • Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
  • Gastrointestinal infections (diarrhoea and vomiting).
  • Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants.

…and Benefits for Mothers Too

Breastfeeding can also provide health benefits for mothers.

It may help:

  • Reduce the risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
  • Support natural spacing between pregnancies.
  • Reduce the risk of high blood pressure and diabetes.
