Breastfeeding is the healthiest way to feed your baby and has health benefits for the mother too. Exclusive breastfeeding (giving your baby breast milk only) is recommended for the first six months. After that, giving your baby breast milk with other food will help them grow, develop, stay healthy and have strong emotional bonds.
