Breastfeeding offers numerous health benefits to mothers, and Dr. Palla Birth and Beyond Pediatric Clinic emphasizes its importance for both maternal and infant health. Here are some key advantages for mothers: Benefits of Breastfeeding for Mothers Faster Recovery After Birth – Breastfeeding helps the uterus contract and return to its pre-pregnancy size faster due to the release of oxytocin. Reduces Postpartum Bleeding – Oxytocin release minimizes bleeding after delivery, promoting faster healing. Aids in Weight Loss – Nursing burns extra calories, helping mothers return to their pre-pregnancy weight naturally. Lowers Risk of Breast & Ovarian Cancer – Long-term breastfeeding has been linked to a reduced risk of these cancers. Reduces Risk of Osteoporosis – Helps maintain bone density in later life, reducing fracture risks. Lowers Risk of Type 2 Diabetes – Especially beneficial for mothers who had gestational diabetes. Improves Mental Health – Breastfeeding releases calming hormones, reducing stress, anxiety, and postpartum depression. Enhances Bonding with Baby – Promotes emotional connection through skin-to-skin contact. Delays Menstruation & Natural Contraception – Exclusive breastfeeding can delay ovulation and menstruation (lactational amenorrhea method).
