Your breastmilk is magic

Breast milk is the best possible food you can feed your baby! It’s magic because it gives your baby all the vitamins he needs to grow strong and big. Your breast milk protects your baby from getting sick.

You should ONLY breastfeed during the first 6 months of your baby’s life. Start as soon as possible after your baby is born – don’t wait for more than half an hour. The first time you breastfeed your baby you are protecting him from sickness.

After the first time you breastfeed, let your baby feed at least 10 times every 24 hours. Your baby is growing fast and he needs as much milk as possible! If you have trouble breastfeeding, ask for help at your local clinic or in your community.
