Introduction
Breastfeeding is the act of a mother giving
her child milk directly from her breast. This is also known as lactation.
Babies latch themselves onto the mother’s
breast, aided by the mother, and suck the breast milk. The truth is that there
is no better milk for a child than breast milk.
Breast milk should be given to the baby for
at least 6 months. The mother can continue for a year if she desires.
