THE IMPORTENCE OF BREASTFEEDING:

     Breast feeding is very important to every child below two years. All mothers should allow their children to breastfeed for at least six months of their life. This is the recommendation of world health organization.

Watch this Reel for more information about breastfeeding.

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization recommend that babies be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of their lives. After that, they recommend continuing to breastfeed while also introducing complementary foods for up to two years or longer. 

 

Breastfeeding has many health benefits for infants, children, and mothers. Some studies have found that longer breastfeeding duration is associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Other studies have found that breastfeeding duration is associated with a healthier diet for children, including more fruit and vegetables. 

 

The decision of when to stop breastfeeding is up to you and your baby. Some babies may decrease the number of times they breastfeed as they start eating solid foods. Around nine months, babies may start to rely more on solid foods for their growth and development.
