For BABY - It reduces their risk for ear infections, gastrointestinal problems and colds. It's also somewhat protective against being overweight and developing diabetes later in life.
And for MOMS too - It reduces the risk of certain cancers such as ovarian and breast cancer, and also the risk for developing diabetes.
BREAST MILK - is digested easily than any other foods, so babies may wake up more frequently, but this doesn't mean they're not getting enough nutrition. In fact, waking up (though tiring for the parents) is a good thing because it's protective against sudden infant death (SID).
The goal is exclusive breastfeeding to six months because that confers the optimal and greatest health benefit for babies and mothers. Even though these problems (cracked nipples and painful over-swollen breasts), which can derail the efforts are most likely to arise and thinking that the baby isn't getting enough milk, don't give up to breastfeed your little one. Reach out for help and advice from public health nurses, lactation consultants, midwives, clinics and (don't look any further) your very own experienced beloved mother/MIL (the grandmas). Often, it's a question of modifying position and latch. To first-time moms, wish you all the very best!
