🗣Celebrate World Breastfeeding Week, with our dieticians leading the way.

🤝Let us confirm our commitment and efforts to protect, promote and support breastfeeding for optimal health and development of all infants and young children. Breastfeeding should be promoted as an ongoing activity within communities, workplace environments, as individuals, government and all other stakeholders for it to be normalised in South Africa.

To get the best start to your breastfeeding journey, mothers should try to start breastfeeding within an hour of birth. And for the first 6 months, it is really important to give your baby ONLY breast milk, with no other foods or water. By only feeding your baby breastmilk during the first six months, you give your baby complete nutrition and also protect them against diarrhoea, respiratory infections, and allergies. And amazingly breastfeeding offers children long-lasting protection against other conditions such as diabetes, cancer, asthma and malnutrition.

And there are benefits for moms too! Breastfeeding helps to protect you against breast and ovarian cancer as well as osteoporosis and nothing beats breastfeeding when it comes to bonding with your baby.🤱

If you or anyone you know have any questions regarding breastfeeding, please feel free to contact our Dieticians or Speech Therapists.
