This one is for moms-to-be...or to the moms out there that have breastfed a baby, here is what you have accomplished...
A study of almost 14,000 kids found that breastfed tots had an average of 7.5 more IQ points than nonbreastfed kids (possibly due to a beneficial chem in breast milk).
Women who lactate for two-plus years over their lifetimes reduce breast cancer risk by 24%.
Fat gained during pregnancy is an energy source for lactation (you'll lose weight as you "feed"...about 500 calories a day).
Moms who breastfeed can expect to save $800 or more per year on formula. Breastfeeding avoids the packaging and energy used to make baby formula products.
