World Breastfeeding Week occurs from August 1 to August 7. This year, the theme for breastfeeding week is “Protect Breastfeeding: A Shared Responsibility”.
Motherhood is a beautiful journey, and it can be full of surprises especially for new moms. Taking care of a newborn can be a little overwhelming in the initial phases and it’s normal to feel exhausted. It is important for mothers to take care of themselves and a little help from the family and medical experts can make this period memorable for them.
Since a baby’s diet will form the foundation for his/her nutrition, growth and immunity, it is of utmost importance that mothers pay additional attention to feeding in the first few months. Breastfeeding has many advantages to both baby and mother including higher intelligence in baby, better bonding as well as prevention of various diseases in later life. Breast milk provides the best nutrition to your baby.
