1- Protects against
post-partum uteritis.
2- Helps stop
bleeding resulting from delivery, thus preventing loss of extra blood.
3- Helps
uterine restore normal size and place quickly after delivery.
4- Prevents
the recurrence of pregnancy with a rate of more than 98%, without
contraceptives.
5- Protects
the lactating mother against breast and uterine cancer.

1- Breast feeding protects
the baby from viral infections, as it contains immunity agents
2- It protects
against food allergy, as it is free of protein that causes such kind of
allergy and which is usually found in extracted and manufactured cows milk.
3- It prevents
shortage of calcium in the baby’s blood, thus helping to construct strong
bones.
4- It returns with spiritual
and psychological benefits to the baby, as it helps build a
well composed, righteous and straight personality, and strengthens the
spiritual and passionate links between the baby and the mother.
5- As revealed in a research published in Pediatric Clinics of North
America in February 2001, the mental abilities
of babies who receive breast feeding from their mothers are stronger and higher than otherwise, and the longer
the period of breast feeding, the higher the mental abilities are.
6- It was shown that mother's milk also provides protection against cancer. After showing that the
incidence of the lymph cancer observed in childhood was nine times greater in
formula-fed children, they realized that the same results applied to other
forms of cancer. According to the results, mother's milk accurately locates
the cancer cells and later destroys them. It is a substance called alpha-lac
(alphalactalbumin), present in large quantities in mother's milk that locates
and kills the cancer cells. Alpha-lac is produced by a protein that assists
in the manufacture of the sugar lactose in the milk.
6- In addition to some practical benefits of
breast feeding. The milk is always
ready with steady and appropriate heat, fresh, sterilized, digestible and
saves money and time!
7- Researchers indicated that breast feeding alleviates the baby’s fear
of needle pricks and helps
as analgesic during painful operations such as circumcision.

A new theory
emerged in the recent years indicating that the protein in cows milk can cause a biological reaction that destroys the
pancreatic beta cells excreting insulin.
This theory is supported with the high rate of the presence of cow milk
proteins in the serum of children with diabetes in comparison with study group
of non-diabetic children.
But why is it
that cows milk causes this harm before the second year, and then
disappears after this period?
In a study conducted in Finland
New references reveal that enzymes and the
lining membrane of the digestive system and kinetics of digestion and
absorption do not attain complete function except in the second year
after delivery.
In a very accurate scientific reference, the Quran determines the period
of lactation with almost two years. In
verse 14 of Surat Luqman:
“And We enjoined
on man concerning his parents- his mother bore him in weakness upon weakness,
and his weaning was in two years.”
(Surat Luqman,
verse:14)
الآية رقم (14)
في سورة [لقمان]: (ووصينا الإنسان بوالديه حملته أمه وهنـًا على وهن وفصاله في
عامين)
It is understood that lactation for two years is not a must, but a
complete period:
“Mothers
shall breastfeed their children for two whole years, for such as desire to
complete the term ”
( Surat Al
Baqara, verse:233)
( وَالْوَالِدَاتُ يُرْضِعْنَ
أَوْلاَدَهُنَّ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ لِمَنْ أَرَادَ أَن يُتِمَّ
الرَّضَاعَةَ ) – البقرة 233.
