Breastfeeding is the best and cheapest form of nutrition for your baby. At the same time, it provides good protection against illness. Frequent feeding is the best way to encourage milk flow.

When breastfeeding, take care to maintain a well-balanced diet. It is difficult to reverse your decision should you decide not to breastfeed.

If you give your baby an additional formula, it may affect the success of breastfeeding. The World Health Organisation recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months. Please seek advice from your clinic or pediatrician.
