Studies indicate that breastfeeding for at least 3 to 6 months lowers rates of overweight and obesity later in life for the infant.
Another huge advantage of breastfeeding is that the nutritional quality of breast milk is best for infants. Because of this a breastfeeding woman has higher needs for proteins than she had during pregnancy.
