Breastfeeding Buying Guide

Breastfeeding your child provides the required nutrients for the healthy growth and development of the baby. Colostrum from mother’s milk is the perfect food for the newborn and so make sure feeding is initiated within the first hour after birth.  

Breast Feeding Benefits and Advice

• Breast milk has rich antibodies that ward off infection. It also helps in the baby’s digestion process as it contains vitamins, minerals and enzymes.
• Mother’s milk contains the right amount of fat, sugar, water and protein that is needed for a baby's growth and development.
• Breastfed babies are less exposed to lower respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, ear infections and septicemia.
• Breastfeeding is recommended up to 6 months of age, with continued breastfeeding along with appropriate complementary foods up to two years of age.
