Benefits of breastfeeding for baby
Research suggests that breastfeeding lowers your baby’s risk of certain diseases and helps build a strong immune system. Breastfed (chestfed) babies have a lower risk of:
Diarrhea, vomiting and preterm necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).
Respiratory infections like pneumonia, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and whooping cough.
Ear infections.
Bacterial meningitis.
Asthma.
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and infant mortality.
Childhood obesity.
Eczema.
Type 2 diabetes later in life.
Leukemia (in childhood).
Cavities and future orthodontic problems for babies less than one year of age.
Celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Studies show that breastfed infants have a lower hospitalization rate and tend to be in better health. This leads to fewer visits to their pediatrician for sicknesses.
