Breastfeeding contributes to establishing a close bond between mother and child, as well as to the healthy growth and development of the newborn. It reduces the risk of infections, has a positive effect on the child’s cognitive development, and lowers the risk of allergies and high blood pressure.

It reduces postpartum bleeding and stimulates the uterus to contract, helping it return to its pre-pregnancy state. It also supports postpartum weight loss and reduces the risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer.
