Breastmilk - Liquid Gold

Breastmilk... aka liquid gold!



Here are some random facts about breastmilk you may not know but will help you to appreciate this magical substance!



1. Producing breastmilk consumes 25% of the body's energy, which is more than our brains!



2. Breastmilk makes babies sleepy and contains hormones to help them relax



3. When your baby is sick, your breastmilk adapts and increases the number of white blood cells to help fight off infection!



4. Breastmilk reduces a lot of childhood illnesses and diseases.. this includes reducing the risk of type 1 diabetes, ear and respiratory infections and gastroenteritis.



5. The taste of breastmilk changes depending on your diet. If you eat a wide range of foods while breastfeeding, you will expose your baby to a bunch of different flavours.



6. When a mother breastfeeds, she reduces her own risk of breast and ovarian cancer, stroke, type 2 diabetes and post-partum depression.
