Breastfeeding helps protect your baby against:

  • ear, chest & urine infections
  • gastro-intestinal infections
  • childhood diabetes
  • eczema & asthma
  • obesity
and helps protect you against ovarian cancer and breast cancer

Breastfeeding saves time & money!

  • Breastfeeding is free - in fact it saves you an estimated £450 across a year
  • Breastfeeding is always available & instantly at the right temperature
  • It's estimated that the NHS spends at least £35million per year treating gastro-enteritis in bottle-fed babies in England

Breastfeeding is best for your baby - it's official!

  • The World Health Organisation says:
    "Breastfeeding is the best form of nutrition for infants. Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months (26 weeks) of an infant's life as it provides all the nutrients a baby needs".
  • UNICEF estimate that 1.5 million babies worldwide die each each year because they are not breastfeed.

Breastfeeding aids mothers & baby bonding

  • Breastfeeding stimulates the release of the hormone oxytocin. This hormone stimulates uterine contractions & milk ejection and promotes the development of maternal behaviour & bonding between mother & baby
