Breast-feeding: A Great Start
Breast-feeding has many
benefits for you and your
baby. It is one of the best
gifts you can give your
newborn. Here’s why:
- Breast milk helps protect your baby against such health problems as ear infections, diarrhea and allergies.
- Breast milk is free.
- Breast-feeding allows you to bond with your baby.
- Breast-feeding can help protect you from breast and ovarian cancer.
- Breast-feeding burns calories and can help you lose weight.
Ask your physician or nurse about breast-feeding.

Medical Center offers a

breast-feeding or who are

information. This group
meets monthly. For dates
