Low birth weight babies can thrive at a significant rate when they are exclusively breastfed.

As we continue to reflect on the importance of breastfeeding this August, let’s keep the conversation alive and build momentum for our upcoming APEHOG webinar on breastfeeding.

[Association of Public and Environmental Health @APEHOG1]

Even after starting complementary feeding, breast milk continues to supply vital nutrients that babies need for healthy growth and development.

Mother’s milk remains nature’s perfect support, nourishing, protecting, and bonding well into the first year and beyond.
