The Department of Health and the World Health Organisation recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life, with continued breastfeeding along with appropriate complementary foods up to two years of age or beyond1,2. Despite this recommendation being widely recognised and supported many modern mums either never start or give up breastfeeding before their baby is fully weaned.

A healthy, varied diet is important during breastfeeding, and even more nutrients are required than during pregnancy. Women require an extra 330kcal per day (1.4MJ per day) in the first six months of lactation if exclusively breastfeeding, and it is important that the extra energy consumed is nutrient-dense to meet the needs of both the mother and her developing baby.

For most of human history there has been just one source of nutrition for babies before weaning, that is, of course, human breast milk. It provides the most natural and optimal nourishment, containing everything babies need to grow and thrive in the first six months as well as being convenient and completely free. For many years, researchers have been studying breast milk and identifying what makes it optimal. As a result, we know that breastfeeding has a number of important benefits to both mothers and babies.
