World Breastfeeding Week!

With this year's theme, Prioritize Breastfeeding: Create Sustainable Support Systems, we emphasize the crucial significance of breastfeeding for infants, mothers, and the world.

Breast milk is the most complete and perfect food a baby can get, offering unparalleled benefits from day one.

Top 5 Benefits of Breast Milk

• Complete Nutrition and Deep Sleep: Breast milk provides all the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals a baby needs to grow healthy.

Breastfed babies sleep better.

• Defense and Protection: This milk contains antibodies that protect the baby against infection, allergies, and chronic diseases, strengthening his immune system.
• Unique Bond: Breastfeeding fosters a deep and special emotional bond between mother and baby, promoting their emotional and cognitive development.
• Mother's Recovery: Breastfeeding helps the mother regain weight faster, helps reduce the risk of bleeding, and reduces the risk of certain types of cancer and osteoporosis.
• Environmental and Economic Benefits: Breastfeeding is sustainable, does not require bottles or cans, and is free; it is both an ecological and economical option.

Let us support all mothers in Aruba in their precious period of breastfeeding their children. Together, let us build a healthier future for our children and the entire community!
