Breastfeeding

    Breastfeeding is a natural choice with many benefits to you and your baby. Breastfeeding is a wonderful, bonding experience between you and your baby and also offers many practical benefits. Research shows that the longer you breastfeed, the more you and your baby will benefit. The Ministry of health recommends that new mothers breastfeed exclusively for 6 months and continue on for at least 18-24 months after introducing solids.
