Breast milk provides the water and nutrients a baby needs during the first six months of life. 🥰🍼 Giving water, herbs, or pap too early may reduce breast milk intake and can expose the baby to infections and other health problems. ⚠️😔

👶🏽 For the first 6 months:

❌ No water 💧

❌ No herbal mixtures 🌿

❌ No pap/ogi 🥣

❌ No other foods 🍲

✅ Only breast milk 🤱🏽❤️ (unless a qualified health professional advises otherwise for a medical reason).

After 6 months, appropriate complementary foods can be introduced while breastfeeding continues. 🥣🍌🥕🤱🏽

Dear mothers ❤️, let's protect our babies with the right information, not just traditional practices passed from one generation to another. 🙏🏽👶🏽
