π€± Breastfeeding moms enjoy healthier hearts, Ohio State study reveals. Researchers found that women who breastfed had a lower risk of heart problems like heart attacks at both 10-14 years and 30 years after giving birth. The protective effect was especially significant for mothers who experienced gestational diabetes during pregnancy. The study, published in Obstetrics & Gynecology, analyzed data from 4,540 mothers, with 80% reporting they had breastfed their newborns. Researchers emphasize these findings highlight the need for better postpartum breastfeeding support and education about its connection to long-term maternal heart health.
