Breastfeeding

At ‘With Woman’ we are here to provide the support you need to successfully breastfeed your new born infant/s.

Breast milk is one of Mother Nature’s most wonderful creations. It provides everything your baby needs, when your baby needs it, for healthy growth and development. As well as being a satisfying source of nourishment, your body responds to your baby’s needs by only ever producing as much or as little as is required.

The act of breastfeeding itself encourages intimacy and makes your baby feel safe and warm and gives you both precious time to bond. It also burns around 500 calories a day, making it easier to shift your pregnancy weight. Keep reading to find out more about the numerous reasons why breast is considered best.

Breastfeeding benefits

Breast is considered best for many reasons.

It provides complete and natural goodness from day one

Breast milk supports your baby’s immune system. It contains a combination of protective factors including antibodies and prebiotic oligosaccharides, helping to protect them from illnesses such as stomach upsets and ear infections. Breast milk may also help to protect a baby from developing asthma in childhood.

Your body produces only as much as your baby needs

Your milk production adapts to your baby’s hunger, and the complex composition of your milk is constantly changing over time to meet your baby’s nutritional demands. Not only from month to month, but also with subtle differences occurring throughout the day, or even from the start to the end of a feed.

‘With Woman’ are able to provide a variety of packages including an online question and answer forum.
