Breastfeeding may decrease child's risk of developing leukemia
Another nice study for World Breastfeeding Week – breastfeeding was shown in one study to decrease the risk of kids developing leukemia by about 15%!! While it’s likelya very complicated process (that is, not breastfeeding does not mean your child will get this cancer!!), it’s yet another reason to give it a go:

Awesome! Yet another reason to love breastfeeding!
In those early long nights of breastfeeding and recovery from birth we need all the motivation we can get to keep going!
This is awesome information.
