Breastfeeding is considered the best gift for your baby as it provides ideal nutrition and protection against common illnesses, while also promoting a strong bond between mother and child. It has numerous health benefits for mothers, including reduced risks of certain cancers and faster recovery to pre-pregnancy shape. Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months, followed by continued breastfeeding alongside complementary foods for up to two years or more.
