Breastfeeding Benefits for Mothers Health | Dr Neelima Mantri
Breastfeeding is not only good for
infants for improving their general health, but also beneficial for mothers, as
they carry lesser risks of cancer and cardiovascular disease for long years to
come. Lactation period is an essential stage, where infants get the right type
of nourishment, and mothers who fail to breastfeed carry more risks of breast
cancer, diabetes, ovarian cancer and other serious health issues. Timely
breastfeeding can help mothers to ensure that the important functions of the
body work in harmony and prevent the risk of many diseases, otherwise the
effects of the systems going out of order can last for evn decades.
Beneficial hormones are released within he mother’s body due to
breastfeeding, where prolactin and Oxytocin hormones help the mother to stay
relaxed and to enhance the response in nurturing the baby. In fact, Oxytocin
level helps the uterus to contract more quickly, thus reducing the risk of
bleeding soon after the birth of the child. Pitocin is a synthetic hormone
which is based on Oxytocin that helps the uterus to contract. Breast milk
contains all the essential nutrients and vitamins that are needed for the
growth of a baby for the first six months. Moreover, breast milk contains the
essential substances that help in fighting diseases, thus keeping the baby in
good health.
