Infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life

Breastfeeding means feeding an infant with breast milk from the mother. Research shows that breastfeeding is associated with better health outcomes

Breast milk provides a complete and dynamic range of nutrients that change as the infant grows, supporting normal growth and development.

Pregnancy and childbirth involve significant physiological changes and physical stress on the body.

The “Father of Medicine,” Hippocrates, is often quoted as saying:“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
