Breastfeeding releases the production of prolactin, this prevents regular monthly menstruation. This reduces lifetime exposure to estrogen hormone. High estrogen levels is associated with breast cancer.
It also removes cells with damaged DNA that could lead to tumour development in breast. For every five months a woman breastfeeds, her risk of breast cancer is reduced by two percent.
Breastfeeding burns excess calories, it releases oxytocin hormone which returns uterus to its pre- pregnancy size and may reduce uterine bleeding after birth.
It prevents children from developing different types of cancers, babies who are breastfed may not become obese in future. Breastfeeding prevents all childhood diseases and reduces the risk of sudden infant death syndrome SIDS.
