Everything you need to know about breastfeeding
The research on the benefits of breastfeeding just keeps getting better. Both the World Health Organization and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life, with supplemental breastmilk to 12 months of age. This has been shown to have profound benefits for both breastfed babies and their moms.
