Never again will you be able to do so much for your child’s health than in the first few days and weeks of his or her life. Breastfeeding is the perfect nourishment for your baby’s body and soul. And breastfeeding means safety, security and lots of protection for your little one.

Mother’s milk – the best thing for your baby
Breastfeeding contains simply everything that your baby needs in the first few months to flourish and grow. Breast milk is particularly practical, too: both the composition of the milk and the quantity will always adapt itself perfectly to the requirements of your child.

Well-protected right from the beginning
Breast milk also offers your infant protection against infections and illnesses and it can also reduce the risk of allergies by up to 50% if you exclusively breastfeed your baby in the first six months. Numerous studies have also shown that breastfed babies suffer less frequently from infections of the middle ear, diarrhea, and infections of airways and urinary tracts than babies that are bottle-fed.

Healthy long-term benefits for your little one
Long-term studies prove that breastfed babies are still reaping the benefits in adult life. The incidence of obesity, infection-related illnesses and Type 2 diabetes is lower than in adults who were bottle-fed as infants.

Promoting development of speech
Breastfeeding, even at this early stage, lays the most important foundations for your baby’s speech development. Sucking at the breast promotes the development of the mouth muscles and the formation of the jaw in an ideal way.

Plus points for body and soul
Breastfeeding is good for your soul and helps you to feel more confident in your new role as a mother. From the very first time you put your baby to your breast powerful hormones are emitted, which strengthen your maternal feelings even more.

Helping the uterus recover
Breastfeeding also has major benefits for your health. It helps the uterus to contract more quickly to its original size and helps to prevent post-natal infections. The latest research shows that the risk of developing breast cancer with breastfeeding mothers is less than with non-breastfeeding mothers and it helps you burn more calories and lose weight gently and gradually.
