Did You Know?

• Breast milk can protect your baby from infections because of the antibodies in breastmilk.
• Breastfeeding can help you financially. Formula costs can amount to $1,500 per year.
• Prolactin and oxytocin are the hormones involved in making breastmilk. These hormones may also cause a feeling of wanting to be together with your baby.
