For baby: -Much less illness in general (breastmilk has immuno factors that are not present in any formula) -Breastmilk is much easier to digest and thus causes much less digestive distress and illness. -Lower chance of obesity, diabetes, and cancer later in life -Lower chance of an allergies in baby (cow's milk and soy protein are the base of most formulae and they are both common allergens). -Better ****** muscle and bone development due to the action of ******* at the ******. -Higher IQ (may be due to more eye-contact present during breastfeeding--this affects brain development) -Potentially less crying due to waiting for food; crying causes stress hormone levels (cortisol) to skyrocket and this is bad for baby's health. -No chance of contamination due to improperly prepared formula (unclean water, etc.) or dirty bottles. For mom: -Lower chance of ****** cancer. -Easier to lose baby weight. -Breastfeeding releases a relaxing hormone in mom that keeps her calm. -More sleep if baby is next to you at night (no need to get up to fix a bottle). For more information about the benefits and mechanics of breastfeeding, attend a local free La Leche League meeting in your area: Good luck!

It's a serious calorie burner. It reduces your risk of developing ****** cancer. It creates the release of the "mothering hormone" prolactin, which helps keep post-partum blues at bay. It gives you a calm, comfortable feeling of well-being. Health benefits for baby? Your antibodies protect them from illness, your milk is custom-made for them and the composition changes as they grow, giving them exactly what they need when they need it. A breastfed baby will not have the increased risks of developing colic, allergies, digestive problems, diabetes, respiratory problems, or obesity that formula-fed babies have. It's a very personal decision. It's not always an easy road, but the benefits are certainly well worth it. Health benefits for you? It’s a serious calorie burner.
