Welcome to The Lucky Latch Lactation Services

Breast milk contains the ideal mix of vitamins, protein, and fat—everything your baby needs for healthy growth.

It provides antibodies that help your baby fight off viruses and bacteria, reducing the risk of infections.

Breastfed babies have a lower risk of:

• Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
• Ear infections
• Respiratory illnesses
• Gastrointestinal infections
• Allergies and asthma
• Childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes

Some studies suggest breastfed babies score slightly higher on IQ tests later in life. 5-7 points to be exact!

Skin-to-skin contact during breastfeeding fosters emotional bonding and soothes the baby.

Oxytocin released during breastfeeding helps the uterus return to its pre-pregnancy size and reduces bleeding.

Breastfeeding can help with postpartum weight loss by burning extra calories.

Women who breastfeed have a lower risk of:

• Breast cancer
• Ovarian cancer
• Type 2 diabetes
• High blood pressure

Breastfeeding can delay the return of menstruation, helping with natural child spacing (though it’s not a reliable method of birth control). It is important to remember that women ovulate BEFORE their period returns.

Breast milk is always available, at the right temperature, and free—no bottles, sterilization, or formula needed.
