Nurse & protect

Did you know that breastfeeding for six months and longer can lower your risk for breast, endometrial and ovarian cancer? And yet South Africa has some of the lowest exclusive breastfeeding rates in the world in the first six months of a baby’s life. According to the World Health Organization, our rates are estimated to be 32 percent. The Cancer Association of South Africa (Cansa) has teamed up with The Breast Mom, an online service that provides support, products, accessories and advice. Six percent of the price of The Breast Bag goes to support

Cansa. The Breast Bag is a nifty kit containing great accessories as well as a downloadable support guide. Find out more at thebreastmom.co.za.
