Why breastfeeding is best for most mothers

Breastfeeding is best for most mothers because it:

  • Helps you to develop a strong emotional and physical bond between you and your baby.
  • May help you return to your pre-pregnancy weight over time.
  • Speeds up the return of your uterus to the right position, after birth.
  • Requires no preparation or sterilisation of teats and bottles.
  • Is extremely environmentally friendly.
  • Is very low cost and completely portable!
  • Enables you to feed your baby in a situation where there is no other food or water available.
