Social and Economic Benefits
Breastfeeding offers society not only improved health of children and mothers but also economic and environmental benefits.
The benefits of breastfeeding go beyond health considerations. Mothers who nurse their children enjoy social and economic advantages as well. For example:
• Women who breastfeed avoid the financial burden of buying infant formula, an average expense of $800 per year.
• Breast-fed babies are less likely to need excessive medical attention as they grow. In one study, a group of formula-fed infants had $68,000 in health care costs in a six-month period, while an equal number of nursing babies had only $4,000 of similar expenses

The results of many studies that show that in the period immediately after the baby is born. Until the time of birth is gone. Mother and baby should be together. And should have the opportunity to tighten the skin of her mother s direct contact with the surface of the ball. (Baby is in the nature strip. I was wrapped in cloth).
For comparison, Infants who were exposed to the mother in this way will be more than happy. The body temperature was maintained at normal levels, and more. Heart rate and breathing regularly and is usually over. They also have higher blood sugar levels as well. Moreover The mother was carrying her child in-skin immediately after birth.

There are likely to be able to breastfeed without the need to get help in any way, and it is possible to suck better. Especially if the mother does not receive any medication during childbirth. Babies fed with the correct posture to get the milk more easily. It also allows parents less sore nipples.

However, during the first two to three days, the mother's milk does not contain much. (But enough for children) to absorb the correct posture allows the baby to suck the milk is out. (Breast milk is still available even if the pump does not matter) if the baby with the wrong posture. She might have sore nipples And babies suck milk is bad, it's even longer and hurt
