Exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months is one of the greatest gifts a mother can give her baby. Breast milk has the right mix of proteins, fats, vitamins, and antibodies that your baby needs to grow healthy and strong. It protects newborns from infections like diarrhea, colds, and ear infections, while also lowering the risk of long-term illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, and even certain allergies. For the first 6 months, babies don’t need water, honey, juices, or solid foods – only breast milk. Even in hot weather, breast milk keeps babies perfectly hydrated. It’s not just about nutrition; every feed strengthens the bond between mother and baby, offering comfort, warmth, and emotional security. And for mothers, exclusive breastfeeding can help the body recover faster after childbirth and even reduce the risk of certain cancers.
