These World Breastfeeding posts were from a series featured on the Santosha Instagram profile and Facebook page. They are short and sharp posts intended to share little facts about breastfeeding. If you would like more information, I recommend Ina May’s Guide to Breastfeeding.
There are many lifelong positive health effects from breastfeeding for both the mother and the baby. For the mother it helps to space out pregnancies, providing a certain level of contraception. It reduces the risk of breast and ovarian cancer, and also lowers the risk of hypertension (high blood pressure).
