About breastfeeding

A mother's milk is the best source of nutrition for all infants
Your baby doesn’t need any foods other than breast milk in these early months. This is called ‘exclusive’ breast feeding.

Your breast milk is a complete food that is perfectly designed for your baby. It contains so many important nutrients, as well as hormones and disease-fighting compounds that protect your baby from illness. No liquids or other foods are required; it is available whenever your baby needs it and always at the right temperature.

There is worldwide agreement that newborn infants should be breastfed exclusively for the first six months of their life – for optimal growth, development and health. Breastfeeding has many short and long-term benefits for you and your baby. As well as ensuring good physical and mental growth and development, breastfeeding also supports immune system development.
