A recent article in the New York Times reported that evidence shows breastfeeding is associated with a lower incidence of breast cancer among a group of younger women who are at a particularly high risk: those with breast cancer in the family.
Historically breastfeeding has been linked to better health of the babies, however, recently studies have also proven longer-term advantages of women who breast feed. Studies have found that women who breast-feed are also less likely to develop osteoporisis, ovarian cancer, high blood pressure and heart disease, all of which are prevalent among South Asian women.
