  • As a global public health recommendation, infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life to achieve optimal growth, development and health.
  • Thereafter, to meet their evolving nutritional requirements, infants should receive nutritionally adequate and safe complementary foods while breastfeeding continues for up to two years of age or beyond.
  • Mothers should have access to skilled practical support, for example trained health workers or IBCLC lactation consultants, to ensure a good start and a continuation of the form of nutrition they have chosen and to prevent or resolve breastfeeding problems
