POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy7 months agoA. The recommended duration of breastfeeding for a newborn is at least the first 6 months of life. During this time, breast milk provides all the necessary nutrients and antibodies for the baby's growth and development.
After the first 6 months, you can start introducing solid foods while continuing breastfeeding. The World Health Organization (WHO) and pediatric experts recommend continuing breastfeeding for up to 2 years or longer, alongside the introduction of complementary foods, to ensure your baby receives continued nutritional benefits.
It's essential to nurse on demand, meaning whenever your baby is hungry, in the early months, to ensure they get enough milk and to help establish a strong milk supply.
