Breastfeeding is the act of feeding a baby or young child with milk from the mother's breast. It is considered the best and most natural way to provide infants with the necessary nutrients and antibodies for healthy growth and development. Breastfeeding has been widely studied and researched for its numerous benefits, including lower rates of infections, improved brain development, and lower risk of chronic diseases later in life for both the infant and the mother. Research in this area often focuses on promoting and supporting mothers in breastfeeding, understanding the physical and emotional benefits, and addressing any barriers or challenges that may hinder breastfeeding success.
