- Do you know that in 2018 breast cancer ranked the second most common cancer in the world?
- Do you know that 1 in 20 Malaysian women are at risk of developing breast cancer?
- Do you know that ovarian cancer is the 4th most common cancer among Malaysian women?
If you don’t know the information above, that’s ok. But you must know that researchers had proven breastfeeding lowers the risk of getting breast and ovarian cancer!
Breast Cancer
Breastfeeding can reduce the risk of getting breast cancer. This is due to the fact that when you’re breastfeeding, you experience less estrogen (a kind of female hormone) exposure. Also, you have fewer chances of getting abnormal cells when you’re actively producing breast milk.
Note: You will enjoy more benefits if you breastfeed longer than 6 months.
Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer happens in the ovary, which is the organ that produces eggs. Breastfeeding can lower ovarian cancer risk, so does giving birth to a child. However, if you are pregnant after the age of 35, the risk increases.
Lose weight
Breastfeeding makes you burn 200 to 500 calories per day, the same amount of calories burn when you have a 45-minute run. With that calorie burn, you’ll be able to get back in shape sooner.
Isn’t it amazing? You’re feeding, having quality time with your baby, and burning calories at the same time! Get 3 things done at the same time.
Low cost
The cost of breastfeeding is way much lower than bottle feeding. Save your budget on buying formula milk, extra bottles, etc.
Eco-friendly
Yeah, you’re right. Breastfeeding produces no waste, no pollution, no extra burden on our beautiful mother earth.
Food security
Many of us probably still remember the 2008 Chinese milk scandal, it was a nightmare for parents. Babies were found to have kidney stones and kidney damage after drinking Sanlu formula milk. It raises people’s concerns about food security.
If you’re breastfeeding, your breast milk quality and safety are regulated by yourself.
