Breastfeeding: Less Asthma, Less Obesity and More Savings for Mom and Baby

Breastfeeding is not just an act of love: it is a choice that can improve your baby's health and simplify your life as a mother. A recent study, published by Popular Science Italia , confirms that exclusive breastfeeding reduces the risk of asthma in children by 30% and that of obesity by 34%. A fact that gives pause for thought, especially for future and new mothers who are looking for the best for their little one.

Why does breastfeeding really make a difference?

1. A stronger immune system

Breast milk is a natural concentrate of antibodies, enzymes and nutrients. It helps protect the newborn from infections, colds and respiratory diseases.

2. Prevention of asthma and obesity

The study cited examined over 200,000 cases: children who were exclusively breastfed were less likely to develop asthma and to accumulate excess weight in the first years of life.

3. Benefits for the mother too

Breastfeeding stimulates the release of oxytocin, speeds up postpartum recovery, and reduces the risk of breast cancer. Plus… it helps you save money!

Breastfeeding also means saving money

Breastfeeding mothers can avoid purchasing formula, bottles, sterilizers, and bottle warmers, saving more than €1,000 in the first year.

• Less expenses for food and accessories
• Lower healthcare costs (less illnesses = fewer visits)
• Less stress in daily management
