Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is when a mommy feeds her baby with her own milk that comes from her breasts.

When a mommy has a baby, her body starts making milk to feed the baby. This milk has everything that the baby needs to grow and stay healthy, like proteins and vitamins.

When it's time for the baby to eat, the mommy will hold the baby close to her chest, and the baby will take the mommy's nipple into their mouth. Sucking on the nipple sends a message to the mommy's body to release the milk.

Sometimes it can be hard for mommies to breastfeed, but there are people who can help them, like nurses and doctors. And if a mommy can't make enough milk, then there is special milk formula that can give the baby what they need to grow strong and healthy.

Breastfeeding is a special and important way for mommies to take care of their babies, and it's a way for babies to feel close and loved by their mommies.
