Abstract

Other advantages of breastfeeding are: it costs less than artificial feeding; helps a mother and baby to bond closely — strengthens a deep love relationship; helps the baby develop; can help delay a new pregnancy; protects maternal health. Helps the uterus return to its previous size. This helps reduce bleeding and can help prevent anemia. Breastfeeding also reduces the risk of ovarian cancer and possible breast cancer in the mother.
