BACKGROUND: Breastfeeding is a mammalian technique where an infant receives the mother's breast milk, providing them with calories and nutrients. It is considered the "gold standard" nutritional source for humans during the first few months of postnatal life. The American Academy of Pediatrics and World Health Organization recommend against formula feeding after six months of exclusive breastfeeding and to continue breastfeeding for at least two years, or longer if both parties consent.
