Exclusive breastfeeding has been shown to reduce the risk of a baby developing diabetes later in life. Consider expressing the day before birth so your milk is available if you and your baby are separated, especially if your baby will be born early. Some medical conditions may make it harder for you and your baby to establish breastfeeding. Or, if you need to start medications that are incompatible with breastfeeding immediately after birth, your saved colostrum can still be given to your baby.
