Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Health Canada and the World Health Organization endorse breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life because it provides numerous health benefits for the infant including protection against infections, reduced risk of obesity and certain chronic diseases later in life, and improved cognitive development. Breastmilk also contains all the necessary nutrients for an infant's growth and development. After 6 months, complementary foods can be introduced while continuing to breastfeed until at least 12 months or longer if desired.
