Over the past 20 years a plethora of research has shown the many health and developmental advantages that breastfeeding can provide to children. Breast milk contains antibodies that can protect your baby from viruses and bacteria. Breast milk is also the most complete nutrition for infants, and if fed breast milk, the babies tend to be a little leaner, which can promote proper weight levels later in life.
Not only will your child benefit, but you as the breast-feeding mother will too, in terms of making post-partum weight loss easier, lowering the risk of breast and ovarian cancers, and by developing a stronger bond with your baby. By utilizing a breast pump you can certainly keep on breast feeding when at work.
