When One Child Is BreastfedWhen one child is breastfed, the effects are felt throughout his family, his community and ultimately through the world.

When one child is breastfed:
  • He is given the best start possible, with a food that is nutritionally complete and specifically designed for human dietary needs.
  • He is given dose after dose of a disease-fighting, living fluid that can decrease risk of respiratory disease, ear infections, gastroenteritis, SIDS, allergies, childhood cancers, diabetes, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's Disease and many others; improve his response to vaccines he receives later on; fill in the gap until his immune system matures.
  • He is given brain food that will increase his cognitive scores throughout his childhood.
  • When one child is breastfed he is given the best start possible.

    When one child is breastfed, he gives his mother:
    • Decreased risk for breast cancer, osteoporosis, ovarian cancer, anemia.
    • Daily doses of the "mothering hormone," prolactin, that calms her and improves her mothering skills.
    • Extra time that she might otherwise be mixing formula, sterilizing bottles, cleaning bottles, and heading to the store when the supply runs low.
    • A sense of empowerment that comes with providing such an unmatched beginning for her child.

    When one child is breastfed, he gives his father:
    • The opportunity to learn that parenting is not just about feeding so he finds new ways to interact with his child.
    • A sense of pride in his family.
