Description
Practices and beliefs about exclusive breastfeeding by women living in Commune 5 in Cali, Colombia Exclusive maternal breastfeeding, that is, feeding with maternal milk without adding any other solid or liquid foods during the first six months of the human being's life, is the ideal feeding method during this stage (1). It is one of the most effective and lowest-cost measures to fortify the child's growth because it promotes brain development, protects against illnesses due to malnutrition, shields from learning and hearing difficulties; while also providing a basic component for the human being--namely, the emotional both between the mother and its offspring (2). All these benefits are broadly recognized, but they will depend greatly on the moment breastfeeding is begun, its duration, and the age at which the child starts with the complementary diet.
