Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is not only good for children; prolonged breastfeeding can also bring health benefits for mothers.

Breastfeeding and your health

There are a number of health effects associated with breastfeeding.

Prolonged breastfeeding reduces the risk of ovarian cancer

Breastfeeding is associated with a reduced risk of developing ovarian cancer, particularly if it takes place over a long period. Hormonal factors play a role here. Having children also has a beneficial effect; if you have more children, this reduces the risk of ovarian cancer.

Prolonged breastfeeding reduces the risk of breast cancer

Breastfeeding is associated with a reduced risk of both pre-menopausal and post-menopausal breast cancer, particularly if it takes place over a long period. Hormonal factors play a role here. Having children also has a beneficial effect; if you have more children, this reduces the risk of breast cancer.
