Breastfeeding
Breastmilk is the perfect food due to its unique
properties that help with growth, development and immunity.
Breastfeeding may have its challenges for some families, so it is
important to know that you are not alone. If you are having
difficulties Ngala recommends that you seek support from a family
member or friend who has successfully breastfed, a lactation
consultant, your child health nurse, community nurse or
organisations like Ngala or the Australian
Breastfeeding Association.
The National Health and Medical Research Council (Australia’s peak health organisation) recommends, when possible, exclusive breastfeeding until a baby is six-months old and beyond 6 months in tandem with the introduction of some solids.
Breastmilk is a complete source of nutrients for your baby until six-months of age. Until this age, your baby’s digestive system is still immature and breastmilk is easy to digest and offers the maximum protection against stomach infections.
