IMPORTANT NOTICE:

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recommended that pregnant women and mothers of new born infants and young children be particularly well informed of:

  • the benefits of breast milk, which is the best food for a baby, specifically adapted to its nutritional needs and providing the necessary protection against illness,
  • the importance of the mother’s own well balanced diet in supp orting lactation and breastfeeding,
  • the negative effect of mixed feeding for a baby: alternating between breastfeeding and bottle feeding may interfere with the production of breast milk,
  • the difficulties in reversing the decision not to breastfeed,
  • the socio-economic factors should also be taken into consideration when choosing a feeding method. The cost of infant formula should be kept in mind knowing how much milk may be required depending on the age of infant. If a decision to use an infant milk is taken, when mother does not breastfeed, it is important to give clear instructions relating to the water quality, the correct preparation method and careful use following medical advice. Incorrect use might put a child’s health at risk.
