Breast feeding gives babies the best start for a healthy life and has benefits for the health and well-being of mothers and babies. Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended until babies are around six months of age, with the introduction of appropriate complementary feeding (foods and drinks other than breast milk) at this age, in addition to continued breastfeeding to 12 months and beyond, for as long as mother and child desire. Programs where the importance of breastfeeding is explained, are conducted in a simple yet comprehensive way.
