Breast milk is easier to digest than formula and contains antibodies that protect infants from ear infections, diarrhea, respiratory illnesses, and allergies. The longer your baby breastfeeds, the greater the health benefits. Breastfed infants also have a lower risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and a reduced risk of health problems associated with premature birth.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44df943 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"44df943\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Benefits for You<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Breastfeeding triggers the release of oxytocin, which causes the uterus to contract and return to its normal size more quickly, potentially decreasing postpartum bleeding.
