Breast milk is the best option for babies

Breastfeeding is the best form of nutrition for infants and provides many benefits to babies and mothers. In preparation for and during breastfeeding, it is important to maintain a healthy and balanced diet. Combined breast and bottle-feeding in the first weeks of life may reduce the supply of breast milk, and reversing the decision not to breastfeed is difficult. The social and financial implications of not breastfeeding should be considered. All preparation and feeding instructions must be carefully followed, as improper preparation could pose in health risks to the baby. Always consult a healthcare professional for advice on infant feeding.
