22-month old Mahmoud Bounu's life was saved by breastfeeding, when his family ran from Mali with nothing but their lives.

His mother, Almeyata continued to breastfeed him, after the family's food ran out, and kept him alive until he reached the camp in Burkina Faso.

Malnourished, Mahmoud was able to recover with medical care and feeding support from Save the Children, and continued breastfeeding.

What Are the ABCs of Breastfeeding?

A = Awareness. Watch for your baby's signs of hunger, and breastfeed whenever your baby is hungry. This is called "on demand" feeding. The first few weeks, you may be nursing eight to 12 times every 24 hours. Hungry infants move their hands toward their mouths, make sucking noises or mouth movements, or move toward your breast. Don't wait for your baby to cry. That's a sign he's too hungry.

B = Be patient. Breastfeed as long as your baby wants to

nurse each time. Don't hurry your infant through feedings. Infants typically breastfeed for 10 to 20 minutes on each breast.

C = Comfort. This is key. Relax while breastfeeding, and your milk is more likely to "let down" and flow. Get yourself comfortable with pillows as needed to support your arms, head, and neck, and a footrest to support your feet and legs before you begin to breastfeed

Are There Breastfeeding Benefits for the Mother?

Breastfeeding burns extra calories, so it can help you lose pregnancy weight faster. It releases the hormone oxytocin, which helps your uterus return to its pre-pregnancy size and may reduce uterine bleeding after birth. Breastfeeding also lowers your risk of breast and ovarian cancer. It may lower your risk ofosteoporosis, too.

Will I Make Enough Milk to Breastfeed? The first few days after birth, your

breasts make an ideal "first milk." It's called colostrum. Colostrum is thick, yellowish, and scant, but there's plenty to meet your baby's nutritional needs. Colostrum helps a newborn's digestive tract develop and prepare itself to digest breast milk.

It provides natural immunity against infections .So, colostrum called first Immunization of Baby.

Experts recommend breastfeeding exclusively (no formula, juice, or water) for 6 months. If you supplement with formula, your breasts might make less milk.

Why Do Some Women Choose Not to Breastfeed?

Some women don't want to breastfeed in public

Some prefer the flexibility of knowing that a father or any caregiver can bottle-feed the baby any time

Some women fear that breastfeeding will ruin the appearance of their breasts
