Breast milk is best for your baby

Breast milk is best for babies. The World Health Organisation (WHO) and Health Promotion Board (HPB) recommend 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. At around six months of age (but not before 4 months), infants should receive nutritionally adequate and age-appropriate complementary 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.

Abbott Singapore fully recognises breast milk’s primacy, value and superiority and supports exclusive breastfeeding as recommended by the WHO.

The HPB recommends that infants start on age-appropriate complementary foods at around 6 months, whilst continuing breastfeeding for up to 2 years or beyond to meet their evolving nutritional requirements. If no longer breastfeeding, toddlers can switch to full cream milk after 12 months. This should be complemented by a good variety of solid foods from the four main food groups (fruits, vegetables, grains, meat and alternatives).

OK 

Our parents have always been our pillars of strength in life. Yet as age and time catches up with them, strength might be the very thing they find hard keeping up with. Now, it’s your turn to cheer them on to live life to the fullest – just like they did for you.

Whether it is supporting them to continue doing what they loved to do in their younger days, pushing them to stay active, or simply helping them to eat well and stay strong – empowering them starts from you.

Bringing back the gold in our parents is about instilling the courage to pursue their passions – old or new – without the fear of bodily limits that come with age. That is where you come in.
