On August 1-7, breastfeeding will be celebrated around the world.The health + emotional benefits of breastfeeding children are well-known, but there are just as many benefits for mothers. These benefits include a delayed menstrual cycle (still haven't gotten mine back!), an extra 200 - 500 calories burned per day, frequent boosts of natural oxytocin, decreased risk of iron-deficiency anemia, reduced risks of various cancers, and much more.
Oh, yeah, and it's free!
