Breastfeeding is often talked about in terms of what it provides for baby, but moms deserve to be part of that conversation, too.
Breastfeeding can offer meaningful benefits for moms, including:
Health benefits — Breastfeeding is associated with a lower risk of certain health conditions, including breast and ovarian cancers and type 2 diabetes.
A special connection — Feeding your baby can create quiet moments of closeness and bonding during a busy season of life.
Supporting recovery — Breastfeeding releases hormones that help the uterus contract after birth and can help reduce postpartum bleeding.
Fewer feeding expenses — Breast milk is ready when baby is ready, without the need to purchase formula or prepare bottles.
Convenience — No mixing, measuring, or warming. When you’re together, your baby’s food is right there with you!
Every breastfeeding journey is different. Whether you’re preparing to breastfeed, pumping, combination feeding, or working through challenges, having the right support can make a difference.
At CommuniCare WIC, we’re here to support your goals and your feeding journey, without judgment and on your terms. 💛
