Breast milk - Your baby’s first shield against illness.

KDAH

Breastmilk is packed with powerful antibodies that help protect your little one from infections, allergies, and illnesses. Babies who are exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months are less likely to suffer from ear infections, stomach upsets, and breathing problems. Breast milk doesn’t just feed your baby, it builds their immune system, helps them fight germs, and supports brain development and healthy growth. And the benefits don’t stop with the baby; breastfeeding also lowers the mother’s risk of breast and ovarian cancers, and helps her recover faster after childbirth.
