Breastfeeding is a natural way to nourish your newborn baby. It provides essential nutrients, and antibodies to fight infection, and fosters a close bond between you and your little one. This page explores the benefits of breastfeeding, common issues you may face, and resources to help you on your breastfeeding journey.
What is Breastfeeding?
Breastfeeding is the act of feeding your baby breast milk directly from your breast. Breast milk is a complete food source, perfectly designed to meet your baby’s nutritional needs for the first six months of life, and continues to provide important benefits throughout the first year and beyond.
How Breastfeeding Helps

Breast milk is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antibodies to boost your baby’s immune system.
Promotes healthy weight gain
Breast milk supports healthy growth and development for your baby.
Reduces risk of infections
Breastfeeding antibodies help fight off ear infections, respiratory illnesses, and diarrhea.
Strengthens emotional bond
Skin-to-skin contact during breastfeeding promotes closeness and emotional well-being for both you and your baby.
