The Crucial Role of Optimal Breastfeeding in Saving Lives

Credited from: NYTIMES

  • Optimal breastfeeding can save over 800,000 children's lives annually, reducing mortality by at least 10% in infants and young children.
  • Correct practices include breastfeeding within an hour of birth, exclusively for six months, followed by solid foods while continuing breastfeeding until age two.
  • Many women mistakenly provide contaminated water to infants in place of breast milk, which can harm their developing immune systems.
  • Breastfed babies experience lower risks of various health issues, including infectious diseases and obesity, and show better cognitive outcomes.
  • The economic impact of inadequate breastfeeding is significant, costing an estimated $341 billion globally each year.
