The importance of exclusive breastfeeding
Exclusive breastfeeding means that the newborn is not given any other food or drink except breast milk unless there are medical indications.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) jointly put forward: "Newborns should start breastfeeding within 65,438+0 hours after birth, and exclusively breastfeed within the first six months of life to achieve the best growth, development and health. After that, in order to meet the growing nutritional needs, babies should get nutritious and safe supplementary food and continue breastfeeding until they are 2 years old or older. "
Breast milk contains all the nutrients needed for baby's growth and development, which can meet the needs of baby's growth and development. Infants who are exclusively breastfed are healthy and not prone to illness, and the probability of developing metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and obesity in adulthood is reduced. Babies who are exclusively breastfed are smart and have strong social skills.
