August is Breastfeeding and Immunization month.

Breastfeeding facts

Breast milk has everything that babies need to grow up strong and healthy. It is easy to digest, prevents allergies, and helps keep a baby from getting sick.

Breastfeeding creates a strong bond between mother and child; reduces the risk of breast and ovarian cancer; delays the return of menstrual periods and may aid in spacing pregnancies; increases mother’s self-esteem.; saves the family money as compared to the cost of formula ; saves on healthcare costs; creates a healthier society and contributes to a more productive workforce.
