“Women who breastfeed their babies longer are less likely to get rheumatoid arthritis, Swedish researchers say.”
“Mothers who breastfed for 13 months or more were half as likely to get the painful joint condition as women who never breastfed.”
“Breastfeeding is known to provide multiple benefits for the baby and studies have shown the practice may also protect mothers from breast and ovarian cancers.”
