1. "Breastfeeding is the nutritional standard for infant and young ?
child feeding. Human breast milk is not only the ideal food for ?
infants, but it is the only food that infants need for the first ?
six months of life.
Breastfeeding is endorsed not only by the Virginia Department of ?
Health, but also by the World Health Organization, the U.S. ?
Department of Health and Human Services, and many other ?
scientific organizations." |
