Breastfeeding : A Natural Shield Against Breast Cancer

Most women who breastfeed experience hormonal changes during lactation that delay the return of their menstrual periods after childbirth. This reduces their lifetime exposure to hormones like estrogen, which can promote breast cancer cell growth. The body also sheds breast tissue naturally during pregnancy and breastfeeding. “And, in that process,” Bevers explains, “it is possible you’ll shed some cells that had the potential to become abnormal.

Beautifully said! The hormonal shift and natural shedding during breastfeeding are nature’s protective mechanisms. The more we talk about this, the more empowered and informed our mothers will be. Thank you for highlighting such an important point!
