As our country is celebrating Breast feeding week, we had awareness on Breast Feeding by our own *PDC Dr. Madhavi Pandya at her hospital Pandya Surgical & Maternity
She explained in detail as given below:-
Breastfeeding is crucial for the survival, nutrition and development of infants and young children and the health of mothers. Breast milk protects new borns from infections, helps develop immunity, is beneficial for digestion and optimal growth, and breastfeeding has been found to improve the closeness of mother and baby, while direct physical contact with the mother contributes to a sense of security and later psychosocial development of a child. After giving birth, it is recommended to exclusively breastfeed a baby during the first six months and then continue with adding solid food, until 24 months or longer, if it suits both mother and baby.
