It was a lovely afternoon with friends and Paediatric colleagues @ the Nestle Nutrition Summit 2025.
Dr Jose Saavedra, Paediatric Gastroenterologist and Associate Professor at John's Hopkins University, gave a very informative lecture on the importance of the gut microbiota on child growth and neurocognitive development.
There is great positive impact of breastfeeding in providing all the probiotics and prebiotics that a child needs not only in aiding digestion but it significantly impacts the immune system, metabolism, and even neurological development.
My advice to all new mothers- Breastfeeding is Best 😊. For those moms that are struggling, you can get help from the The Breastfeeding Association of Trinidad and Tobago.
Perseverance is key, it took me and my daughter a month to truly master the art of breastfeeding! It may be natural, but asking for help can ease the burden.
