Let’s give our children the best – Support sustained breastfeeding

The longer a baby is breastfed, the greater the health benefits for the baby and mother. Mothers are encouraged to exclusively breastfeed their babies until they are about 6 months old and to continue breastfeeding up to age 2 and beyond. Breastfeeding also strengthens mother-child bonding and breastfed babies are smarter. Family support for mothers to sustain breastfeeding is important especially in the babies’ first few weeks. Let’s support sustained breastfeeding. For details, please visit www.fhs.gov.hk.
