   BIG spokesperson and Bankstown Hospital Child and Family Health Centre nurse unit manager Vicki Blight said breastfeeding offered many health benefits for babies and mothers.
   
   "Exclusive breastfeeding offers the ideal nutritional balance for a baby for the first six months of their lives and ideally, in conjunction with solids, until at least two years of age," Vicki said.
   
   "Breastfeeding reduces the risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer and iron deficiency anaemia and promotes weight loss and bonding with baby.
   
   "The benefits for the baby include a decreased risk of allergies, obesity, diabetes and childhood cancers and an increase in IQ and visual acuity," she said.
