Here are presented the benefits of breastfeeding for the mother by prof. Rulina, Dr. SP.A (K), from milk IDAI, that actually gain enormous benefits, namely:
1. Preventing iron deficiency anemia
New mothers would have felt weak because of the birth process a lot of bleeding. Therefore it is necessary intake of nutritious food to maternal health quickly returned to normal and can breastfeed her baby properly and optimally. Besides, with exclusive breastfeeding for six months, amenorrhoea (no menstruation) because of lactation will last longer when compared to not breastfeeding exclusively. A mother who breast-feed exclusively during the initial 20 weeks of menstrual would be delayed for 12 weeks and early ovulation is delayed 18 weeks. By delaying the onset of menstruation, it means the mother can store iron and prevent iron deficiency anemia.

2. Prevent postpartum hemorrhage and accelerate the uterus into shape
When the baby immediately after birth nursed her mother, then the stimulation baby sucking on the breast will be forwarded to the brain which will release the hormone progesterone. The function of the hormone progesterone stimulate contractions mioepitel is contained in the alveoli and ducts breast milk, so milk squeezed out. In addition, these hormones will stimulate uterine contractions, so the bleeding postpartum (postnatal) is not the case and the return of the uterus into shape takes place quickly.

During pregnancy increases maternal weight (less than 11kg is recommended). whereas if the actual weight calculated for the fetus, placenta, fluids omnion, enlarged uterus, and the addition of the volume is about 7-8 kg. the rest is stockpiled in the form of fat for the future supply of baby food. The establishment of breastfeeding stems partly from the extra food that is eaten the mother and some of these fat deposits. With breastfeeding, fat deposits will be used for the establishment of breastfeeding. If the mother eats in accordance with the recommended, then the fat deposits that will be used during breastfeeding and maternal weight will quickly return to pre-pregnancy weight.
4. delaying fertility

When you have your period, chances of becoming pregnant within the first 6 months increased to 27.5% and if the mother does not breast feed exclusively on the possibility of pregnancy is 40%. Thus, exclusive breast feeding can be used as a method of family planning as long as it meets these three conditions:
- The baby has not given other food
- Not yet six months old baby
- She has not menstruating
5. Induce a feeling in need
       Humans are social beings. The feeling in need is very important. Imagine if there was no longer in need of us, how it feels. With breast-feeding her baby will be satisfied at once happy and proud. He can give something of themselves to meet the needs of her child.
