CHARLOTTE - For the best start in life, the Michigan Department of Community Health, the American Academy of Pediatrics and health organizations worldwide recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months.
This will be emphasized in August when Breastfeeding Awareness Month is observed throughout Michigan as well as in more than 120 countries worldwide.
The theme for this year's breastfeeding celebration is "Breastfeeding and Family Foods: Loving & Healthy." It focuses on breastmilk providing complete nutrition for an infant's first six months and emphasizes the benefits of continued breastfeeding while giving other foods after six months.
It also aims to help make the transition from fully breastfeeding to breastfeeding and eating with the rest of the family in a loving and caring way.
