How long should I breastfeed my baby?

Some mothers breastfeed for a few weeks, some for a few months, and others for a few years. Any amount of breastfeeding is good for you and your baby.

Doctors recommend breastfeeding for at least a year, or until you or your baby decide that it is time to stop. Breastfeeding your baby for one year or longer has many benefits, including:

• protection from many illnesses.
• the best source of nutrition for growth and brain development.
• comfort and cuddling for emotional health and well-being.
