This is Public Health!




( I did this from the "This is Public Health" Iphone app)

I am an avid believer in breast feeding. Not only are there ample benefits to the mother for breast feeding her children, such as lower risks of ovarian cancer, the benefits are passed on to the breast-fed child. Children who were not breast fed are not only at much higher rates of contracting various diseases such as diabetes or Crohn's Disease, but are susceptible to poor oral health and reoccurring dental caries.

There are numerous benefits of breast feeding, however, one in particular is the amazing connection it gives a mother to her child. It truly is a blessing given to families to be able to provide for their children in such a beautiful way.
