Breastfeeding: A Boon for Mankind

Abstract

Motherhood is a beautiful journey that is accompanied by major responsibilities. One such responsibility is to seek normal growth and development of the baby. Mother enriches her baby with nutrition-rich food that is breast milk. It plays a vital role in infants’ early stages of life to fight against infection and in the growth of the baby. Breastfeeding is the best affordable and simplest method of fulfilling the nutritional needs of infants. Promoting early initiation of feeding and maintaining exclusive breastfeeding can eliminate major health complications for both mother and the infant.
