The importance of breastmilk and the factors that effect exclusive breastfeeding
Abstract
Breast milk is physiological food for a newborn baby for six months to meet almost all needs. Various socio-economic, cultural and personal factors are influential in deciding how to follow in her mother’s infant feeding. Breastfeeding mothers need information and support to initiate and continue breastfeeding successfully. Despite the numerous benefits of breast milk for both mother and her baby, breastfeeding initiation and exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months are still below the desired level in all around the world. Mothers need information and support to initiate and continue breastfeeding successfully. Support provided by professionals trained in breastfeeding to the mother, increase “exclusive breastfeeding” period.
Key words: breastfeeding, breastmilk, exclusive breastmilk, early weaning
