478. Breastfeeding is an obligatory duty.

In verse (2:233) of the Quran we see it stressing the importance of breastfeeding the newborn. Since there are a number of benefits for both the mother and the child, the Quran commands the child be breastfed for a minimum of two years of age of the baby. 

Scientists have confirmed this claim. 

Dr.Theresa Norad of the Imperial College at London undertook a study regarding this subject and found out, breastfeeding mothers had less chances of breast cancer and death due to breathing problems and blood circulation.

The religious commandment stressing the need for mothers to breast feed their new born, could be seen only in Islam. And there seems to be no other religious texts that make a mention of this.

But in this modern-day world babies are grown with feeding bottles, a bad precedent, because of the fear of the mothers losing their figure.

But a study conducted on breast feeding mothers declares, babies bottle fed are prone to illnesses because of loss of immunity, and the mothers who do not breast feed are subject to breast cancers and heart attacks. Hence to avoid breast cancers and heart attacks in women this study proves breastfeeding is a must as stressed in the Quran.

Researchers from England, after having conducted studies on 380000 women in nine countries of the European Union came to a conclusion that breastfeeding protects women from breast cancer and suggests at least six months of breastfeeding where 10% of deaths can be prevented and 17% of deaths due to stroke can be avoided.
