Exclusive breast feeding in new born baby

Exclusive breastfeeding means that an infant receives only breast milk and no other liquids or solids (not even water) except for vitamins, minerals, and medications as advised by healthcare providers. It’s recommended for the first six months of life because breast milk provides all the nutrients an infant needs for healthy growth and development. It not only provides nutrition but also immunity of the mother which gets transferred to the baby through breast milk. This will protect the little ones from various infections in the early months of life.
