Breastfeeding is the best nutrition for healthy growth and development of babies. Good maternal nutrition helps sustain an adequate supply and quality of breast milk. Unnecessary introduction of bottle-feeding, partially or fully, or of other complementary foods and drinks may have a negative impact on breastfeeding, which may be irreversible. Consult your doctor and consider the social and financial implications before deciding to use breast milk substitutes or if you have difficulty breastfeeding. Follow usage, preparation and storage instructions of breast milk substitutes or of other complementary foods and drinks carefully as improper or unnecessary use may pose a health hazard.

Immunity: Mum's first gift to her child

Pregnancy may be a refreshingly joyful experience or an unfamiliar phase of change. Aside from looking forward to your baby's arrival, you most likely have a list of questions on your mind about parenthood. You're not alone. Although parenting comes naturally, at times it could use a guiding hand.

What you do need to know is that to ensure you and your child's health and well-being, it is absolutely essential to eat the right food and gain the right nutrition during pregnancy. The nutrient absorbed by the mother will be passed down to the child. So if the mother has a healthy immune system, she will be able to pass sufficient antibodies to the little one inside. And that will increase the child's health rate the moment he is born.

The birth of a child is a miracle in itself. And when you know how to care for you and your child, you can look forward to experience the best that motherhood has to offer.
