Breast milk is best for your baby

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.

By the time your baby is 6-12 weeks old, he'll probably be sleeping for longer stretches of the night. If he's not, you may have to help him learn to fall back to sleep on his own.

Here are a few tricks

Getting Acquainted

This guide helps you understand him a little better, by explaining:

  • Your baby’s learning style and how he takes in information
  • How your baby communicates
  • 2-month-old sleep patterns


By month two, your baby will also get to know you better, smiling and actually recognizing the woman who's changed his diapers for the last 28 days.
