Why Breastfeeding Matters

Breastfeeding is more than just a way to nourish your baby; it’s a beautiful bond that strengthens the connection between mom and baby. The benefits of breastfeeding are unlimited, from boosting your baby’s immune system to fostering emotional closeness.

It’s a truly important and valuable contribution to your family, community – and yourself!
