- Creates a close emotional bond between you and your newborn
- Helps keep your baby from getting sick
- Lessens the chance of your child becoming overweight
- Lowers your baby’s risk of asthma, allergies and sudden death infant syndrome (SIDS)We’re Here to Help Ensure Your Success with Breastfeeding
