Breast milk is the perfect food with more of the good things babies need!
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies be fed only breast milk until they are 6 months old, when solid foods can be introduced. Feed your baby a combination of solid food and breast milk until they are at least 1 year old.
Every ounce counts!
