Why is breastfeeding critical for babies?
Breastmilk is the perfect food for babies, providing complete nutrition while being naturally safe, clean, and ready to feed without any preparation, even in areas with poor water quality or sanitation.
More than just nutrition, breastmilk acts as powerful medicine that's specially designed for each baby's needs, with the first milk (colostrum) packed with antibodies that protect against disease and death.
