Breast milk for the first six months
For the first six months, breast milk is the only food and drink your baby needs — no water, no tinned milk.
Why it matters
- Perfect nutrition, easy to digest.
- Antibodies that protect against infection.
- Builds a strong bond between mother and baby.
Keeping your supply up
- Feed on demand, day and night.
- Stay relaxed — anxiety reduces milk flow.
- Check baby wets the nappy 6+ times a day and gains ~500 g a month.
