Breastmilk is the best for babies. The World Health Organisation recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life. Unnecessary introduction of bottle feeding or other food and drinks will have a negative impact on breastfeeding. After six months of age, infants should receive age-appropriate foods while breastfeeding continues for up to two years of age or beyond. Consult your doctor before deciding to use infant formula or if you have difficulty breastfeeding.​

Vaccination and Child Immunity

Why mothers should immunize their children and advice on vaccinations.

Mothers should enhance the immunity of their children, considering that newborns have relatively weak immune systems, making them susceptible to various diseases. "Vaccines" play a crucial role in building immunity and safeguarding children from a range of illnesses.

When Should Mothers Take Their Children for Vaccinations?

All babies, including premature ones, should receive vaccines from birth. Typically, mothers will be informed by their doctors about the recommended vaccination schedule for their children. If you are unable to make your appointment, don't worry; your doctor can always reschedule it.

Will my baby experience any side effects?

Vaccines are safe, and allergic reactions to vaccines are very rare. Occasionally, babies may experience redness or swelling around the vaccination site, or they may exhibit symptoms as their immunity builds. However, there are no serious side effects or complications. If you are concerned about your baby having a negative reaction to the vaccine, mothers should consult a doctor promptly.
