Breastfeeding provides numerous benefits for both the mother and the baby. For the baby, it offers essential nutrients, antibodies, and enzymes that promote health and development. For the mother, breastfeeding can help in the reduction of postpartum bleeding, aid in uterine contraction, and reduce the risk of breast and ovarian cancers. Lactation consultants help ensure these benefits are realized by addressing any breastfeeding challenges that may arise.
