Beautiful Births fully agree with the World Health
Organizations breastfeeding recommendations :
"infants
should be exclusively breastfed for the first six months
of life to achieve optimal growth, development and
health. Thereafter, to meet their evolving nutritional
requirements, infants should receive nutritionally
adequate and safe complementary foods while
breastfeeding continues for up to two years of age or
beyond. Exclusive breastfeeding from birth is possible
except for a few medical conditions, and unrestricted
exclusive breastfeeding results in ample milk
production"
This
amazing beautiful video is of initiation of
breastfeeding by breast crawl.
During your pregnancy gain as much knowledge on
breastfeeding as possible prior to the birth. Speak to
breast feeding counsellors and find your local
breastfeeding cafes where breastfeeding mums get
together. Speak to breastfeeding mums and watching
people breastfeed will help you enormously.
