Breastfeeding...

Breastfeeding is the best way to provide infants with the nutrients they need. WHO and Indian Academy of Pediatrics recommend exclusive breastfeeding starting within one hour after birth until a baby is 6 months old. Nutritious complementary foods should then be added while continuing to breastfeed for up to 2 years or beyond.

WHO is working with UNICEF and partners to promote the importance of helping mothers breastfeed their babies within that crucial first hour of life. Skin-to-skin contact along with suckling at the breast stimulate the production of breastmilk, including colostrum, also called the baby’s ‘first vaccine’, which is extremely rich in nutrients and antibodies.

Breastfeeding is world's most healthiest and nutritious fast food ever. Hence pass the benefit to your little babies.
