  7. Bonding and Emotional Benefits: Breastfeeding fosters a strong emotional bond between mother and baby. Lactation counselors promote and support this bonding experience.

  8. Long-Term Health Benefits: Breastfeeding has long-term health benefits for both mothers and babies. It can reduce the risk of certain cancers, promote postpartum weight loss, and support maternal mental health.

  9. Cost Savings: Breastfeeding can save families money by reducing the need for formula, bottles, and other feeding-related expenses.

  10. Environmental Benefits: Breastfeeding is eco-friendly, as it generates fewer waste products and has a lower carbon footprint compared to formula feeding.
