Breastfeeding Support Center
Your baby’s first food is likely to be your breast milk.
Breast milk is the perfect food for your baby for the first 6 months of life - the longer the better. Breastfeeding your baby helps protect him or her from illness, infections and allergies to name just a few of the benefits. You are helping your baby be healthy by breastfeeding.
As a working parent, continuing to breastfeed your baby may seem like an impossible task.
However, breastfeeding can help you stay at work more days as your baby is less likely to be sick than a baby fed with formula.
The Breastfeeding Support Center (BFSC) can help support you in your decision to breastfeed.
