Benefits for the Family
Natural Family Planning
In some cases, breastfeeding/chestfeeding can act as a natural contraceptive known as “Lactational Amenorrhea Method” thus preventing a future pregnancy. This helps to space pregnancies naturally by delaying the return of fertility. However, this can only be achieved with exclusive breastfeeding/chestfeeding for 3 to 6 months. Exclusively breastfeeding/chestfeeding means that all of baby’s feedings are done at the breasts with no substitutions with bottles or pacifiers.
Saves time and energy
