The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of your baby’s life. Here are some guidelines:
- Exclusive Breastfeeding: For the first six months, provide only breast milk without any solids or other liquids (except for necessary medications).
- Continue Breastfeeding: After six months, introduce complementary foods while continuing to breastfeed for up to two years or beyond, as long as you and your baby wish.
- Follow Your Baby’s Cues: Each baby is unique, so follow your baby’s feeding cues and needs when determining the right time to introduce solids and wean.
