breastfeeding guidelines

Breastfeeding is recommended exclusively for the first six months, providing ideal nutrition and immune protection for your baby. Feed on demand, usually every 2-3 hours, ensuring the baby is latched properly for effective milk transfer. Continue breastfeeding alongside solid foods beyond six months as long as both mother and baby are comfortable. Maintain good hygiene, stay hydrated, and consult healthcare providers for support or if facing difficulties. Breastfeeding offers numerous health benefits for both mother and child, fostering bonding and supporting the baby's development.
