Important Notice
This content is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Please consult your healthcare professional.
Disclaimer: Mothers are informed that breast milk, especially the yellowish colostrum secreted in the first week after delivery, is highly nutritious and contains more protein, anti-infective properties, and Vitamin A. Breast milk is a complete food for the first six months, protects against infections, is always available, and requires no preparation. It is also more economical than infant milk substitutes.
Breastfeeding immediately after delivery helps the womb contract and supports the mother in regaining her figure quickly. Frequent suckling and maternal confidence are key to success. Mothers should be encouraged and supported, with proper care of breasts during pregnancy. Infants should be breastfed as soon as possible after birth, and mother and child should stay together (rooming-in). Colostrum must be given and not discarded in favor of sugar water or other substitutes. Infants should be fed on demand, and hygiene for both mother and child must be maintained.
