Breastfeeding is the birth right of every newborn. Breastfeeding offers many benefits to both mother and baby. For mothers, it enhances bonding with their newborn through intimate skin-to-skin contact and the release of bonding hormones like oxytocin. Additionally, breastfeeding can aid in postpartum weight loss by burning extra calories and may lower the risk of certain cancers such as breast and ovarian cancer.

For babies, breast milk provides optimal nutrition tailored to their needs, promoting healthy growth and development. It contains antibodies and immune-boosting factors that help protect against infections and illnesses, reducing the risk of conditions like ear infections, respiratory infections, and gastrointestinal issues. Furthermore, breastfeeding has been linked to lower rates of chronic diseases later in life, including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.

Overall, breastfeeding fosters a strong emotional connection between mother and baby while offering unparalleled health benefits that contribute to a lifetime of well-being for both.

WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for six months post delivery, but data suggests around 25% mothers continue exclusive breast-feeding and others start top feeding. The most common reasons to start feed other than breastmilk are low milk supply, resuming job, and stress. If you are facing any challenges related to breastfeeding, then this workshop is for you.
