Breastfeeding is Good for Mummy As Well

Besides being good for the baby, breastfeeding can have healthy effects on the mother as well. In a recent study done by the World Cancer Research Fund, mothers who breastfeed for at least a year over the course of her life reduces the risk of breast cancer by up to 4.8%. However, the actual reduction is about 0.5% as one in nine women has a chance of getting breast cancer in their lifetime.

So, mummies out there, go ahead and breastfeed your child. It’s good for both you and the baby.
