About Breastfeeding
The American Academy of Pediatrics, the World Health Organization, The Center for Disease Control, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the College of Nurse-Midwifery states that all babies should be breastfed exclusively in the first six months and then breastfed along with solid foods until one year, and longer if the mother and baby desire.
