    Breastfeeding provides infants with optimal nutrition and health benefits. It gives babies breast milk directly from the mother, which contains antibodies that protect against infection. For the first six months, breast milk alone without any other foods is recommended for optimal development and health. Benefits for babies include protection from diseases, allergies, and improved brain and eye development. For mothers, benefits include easier postpartum recovery and reduced risk of certain cancers. Proper positioning and latch are important to ensure babies efficiently breastfeed. Mothers also need good nutrition, hygiene, and rest to support healthy breast milk production.
