I worked on others' ideas a bit and here is what I ended up with, a pithy
word, unpacked a bit, and then some more.:
Five Good Reasons to Breastfeed
1. Normal – gives baby the chance to develop physically, emotionally and
socially to his/her best potential: face, speech, no loss of IQ. And mom
gets to fulfil this part of her reproductive cycle
2. Healthy – diseases of artificial feeding prevented, and provides
protection against infections and allergies; healthy for mother too: baby
avoids the greater risk of gastroenteritis, pneumonia, malnutrition,
necrotizing enterocolitis, hayfever, asthma, eczema, leukaemia, Crohns
disease, and mom avoids increasing her risk of osteoporosis, breast and
ovarian cancer.
3. Economic – saves a fortune for the family, not to mention the planet: mom
needs a few more calories than when she was pregnant, avoids adding to the
destruction of earth’s resources entailed in making and disposing of
artificial substitutes.
4. Enjoyable – nature makes this a pleasurable experience for baby and
mother: hormones help mom relax and enjoy the closeness of the baby, making
it easier to build an intimate loving relationship.
5. Convenient – once established, so easy just to connect the baby to this
miraculous resource: no purchasing, measuring, mixing, washing, sterilising
bother.
