Breastfeeding, started within the first hour of birth, gives babies the best and only nutrition they need in their first six months of life, helping to prevent illnesses and boosting their brain development.
A mother's superpower for her child is breastmilk.
To mark #WorldBreastfeedingWeek, UNICEF is calling for increased support from public and private sectors to help all mothers including working mothers successfully exclusively breastfeed their babies. https://t.co/rXAdGUVV41
