Abstract
The birth of the baby is an important event in the family. It is therefore important for the mothers to have a healthy baby. Breast milk is the best food for the babies as breast fed babies are healthier than formula fed babies. Human milk is a remarkable and renewable resource. It cannot be duplicated. Human milk has no substitute and the breast is nature’s apparatus for feeding the baby. Breast feeding is an art.

Breast feeding results in decreased problems such as infections and other medical problems to the mother as well as the baby.
