Education
Breastfeeding has countless benefits for both a mother and her baby. Breastmilk contains all key nutrients babies need, plus probiotics and
antibodies. Breastfeeding may help prevent many infant health problems. Breastfeeding also decreases a mother’s risk of developing breast and
ovarian cancer. The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months and continued breastfeeding up to 2
years of age and beyond! Breastfeeding education has been shown to help increase breastfeeding rates and success and improve breastfeeding
experiences.
