What are the benefits of breastfeeding?
<|assistant|>
Breastfeeding has numerous benefits for mothers and babies. For mothers, breastfeeding helps with the expelling of the mucous and blood clots, helping with milk letdown, reduces the risk of breast and ovarian cancer, and can also help with weight loss post-delivery. For babies, the major benefit is receiving essential nutrients, proteins, fats, and antibodies from the mother which help to support the baby’s growth and health. Additionally, breastfeeding helps with establishing a strong bond between parent and child and can help with regulating sleep cycles and reducing crying.
