Breastfeeding reduces risk of cardiovascular disease:
https://womenshealthtoday.blog/2017/03/30/why-breastfeeding-lowers-womens-risk-of-cardiovascular-and-metabolic-diseases/?platform=hootsuite
"So how does breastfeeding lower women’s risk for metabolic and cardiovascular disease? The Dunedin study demonstrates that an upregulated stress response increases the risk for cardiovascular and metabolic disease. But what does breastfeeding do? Several studies conducted with mothers of infants have shown that breastfeeding downregulates stress in both mothers and babies. In fact, after breastfeeding, women are less stress-responsive in laboratory settings, meaning that when researchers try to stress them in the half-hour or so after breastfeeding, the mothers show less of a stress response. That’s the short-term effect of breastfeeding. The results of the those studies on cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome suggest that breastfeeding has a far longer term stress-lowering effect than anyone suspected. Breastfeeding appears to have permanently changed women’s stress response, lowering their overall risk of disease in their 60s, 70s and beyond."
