Breastfeeding has many benefits for you and your new baby, it’s far healthier for your baby to be breastfed for at least the first two weeks.
It will also help you to lose weight after your baby is born.
In the first few weeks after your baby is born you body produces fluid called colostrum, it is then breastfed to your baby.
This is important as it passes on a copy of your immune system to your baby: it is shown that baby’s that are breastfed are far more likely to be healthier babies than ones that are not.
A new born baby that is bottle fed is far more likely to have a syndrome called “Baby Obesity”, whereas a breastfed baby will gain weight slowly as they are supposed to and then slim down as they get older.
One of the more quirky benefits of Breastfeeding a baby is that they will usually require far less nappy changing than a bottle fed baby.
To put is bluntly, a Breastfed baby will defecate between 3 & 5 times LESS than a bottle fed baby. Need anymore reasons not to breastfeed?
Bottle-feeding can also be rather laborious as you always have to make sure that the bottles are sterilised, you have enough formula and when you go out that you have prepared a bottle.
Whereas, if you are breastfeeding the food is always on tap and you don’t have any extras to worry about.
One of the main advantages of breastfeeding versus Bottle Feeding is Cost.
The average baby will cost thousands more in the first year than one that breastfeeds.
Baby’s that are breastfed are also less likely to contract ear infections, gastro-enteritis and a whole range of other illnesses.
Breastfeeding also encourages a bond with the mother, babies that a bottle fed are know to bond more slowly with the mother.
Bottle fed babies are know to produce stools that are more solid than babies that are breastfed. Bottle fed babies also produce stools that smell a lot worse than breastfed babies.
Breastfed babies are also easier to wind that bottle fed babies, this makes the parents life just that little bit easier.
Our advice is to breastfeed when you can, not all women can breastfeed but if it is possible for you to breastfeed make sure that you do as the benefits are great.
