Breastfeeding in The NWT Video

Breastfeeding is an ideal way to promote and protect health from infancy to adulthood. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended that mothers breastfeed their babies exclusively (meaning only breast milk with the exception of oral rehydration
solution or drops/syrups of minerals, vitamins or medicines) for six months and continue to breastfeed for two years. Since there is an
abundance of evidence supporting breastfeeding as the ideal way to feed babies, it is vital that formal (health care providers) and informal (families and communities) supports continue to promote breastfeeding.
