BREASTFEEDING (LACTATION) AND RELACTATION CLINIC
OUR GOAL AT THE BREASTFEEDING AND RELACTATION CLINIC IS TO SUPPORT EXPECTANT MOTHERS AND MOTHERS, ENSURING THAT OUR BABIES GROW UP WITH BREAST MILK.
The most ideal food for the healthy growth and development of babies—the guarantors of our future—is breast milk. Breastfeeding counseling plays a vital role in ensuring successful breastfeeding. Breast milk is a miraculous source of nutrition for babies. It is easily digestible and has protective properties against all diseases. It significantly aids in establishing the mother-baby bond. Research shows that children who are breastfed have higher intelligence levels compared to those who are not. Every mother can produce enough milk for her baby. Breastfeeding also highly protects the mother from serious diseases such as breast and uterine cancer. Mothers should begin breastfeeding immediately after birth—within the first hour—and exclusively breastfeed for the first 6 months. At 6 months, complementary feeding should be introduced, with breastfeeding continued for at least 2 years and beyond.
