Breastfeeding - Good for Baby and Mother
The HSE says “every breastfeed makes a difference”.
The longer a mother breastfeeds for, the greater the health benefits are for both the mother and baby.
More and more mothers in Ireland are breastfeeding their babies. While breastfeeding is the most natural way to feed baby, it is a skill that mother and baby develop over the first days and weeks. With the right help, support and information most mothers can start breastfeeding and continue for as long as they want to.
