Welcome to the Milk 4 Life website

You will be able to find all the information you need about breastfeeding on this website. The website is still under development, and we will be adding more useful info over the next few months so please keep coming back!

We hope by browsing these pages you will understand why breastmilk is for life and not just the best food for babies.

By choosing to breastfeed you will without doubt be giving your baby the best possible start in life- it is quite simply the healthiest option for both of you.

Any period of breastfeeding however short will benefit you and your baby, but maximum benefit will be gained by feeding only breastmilk until your baby is around 6 months old, and then continuing to breastfeed alongside solid foods for as long as you and your baby wish.

Babies learn how to breastfeed by breastfeeding, and mothers learn how to breastfeed by breastfeeding- this can take a little time and the information on this site is designed to help make the experience a fulfilling one.
