Recommended Guidelines By World Health Organisation & Singapore’s Health Promotion Board.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and Singapore’s Health Promotion Board (HPB) recommend that babies should be *exclusively breastfed for a minimum of 6 months, and thereafter for 2 years and beyond with complementary foods. The baby’s brain is developing most rapidly during the first 2 years. Up to 80% of their cognitive development happens during this crucial period. Breastfeeding provides the optimal composition of nutrients for this development.
*Baby only receives breastmilk without additional food or drink, not even water.
Welcome to our Breastfeeding Library!
Thank you for visiting our Breastfeeding Library!
Having walked through the same breastfeeding journey, we know how demanding motherhood can be (but absolutely worth it for our little cute bundle of joy!!). It’s heartening that parents these days are beginning to realise the significance of breastmilk, and determined to give baby the best. Hence, it motivated us to come up with a concise breastfeeding booklet (entitled “Mummy, You have milk!”) that offers essential information and practical tips. It answers most, if not all, of the questions new mothers tend to ask. We also busted some common myths that hinder breastfeeding, so that fellow mums can relax and enjoy this natural process. It will be a priceless, unforgettable experience.
