• Put the baby to the breast immediately after birth and allow baby to remain with the mother.
• Breastfeed frequently, as often as the baby wants, day and night.
• Give only breastmilk the first 6 months, with no water, other liquids, or foods (exclusive breastfeeding).
• Continue breastfeeding even if the mother or the baby becomes ill.
• Avoid using bottles, pacifiers (dummies), or other artificial nipples.
• Mothers should eat and drink sufficient to satisfy their own hunger and thirst.
