There are many great reasons to breastfeed your baby. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, breastmilk is the best food to help your baby grow and learn because it:
- has the perfect amount of protein, fat and vitamins
- changes as your baby grows
- is easy for your baby to digest
- has antibodies to keep your baby from getting sick
- is always safe, ready-made, and is not too hot or cold

- prevent breast and ovarian cancer and weak bones later in life
- lose the weight you gained during your pregnancy
- delay your period for a bit after your baby is born
- have a strong connection with your baby
- save money
