Dr. Medhat Abu-Shaaban, medical director and pediatrician in dubai at myPediaclinic (Voted best pediatric clinic in Dubai) discusses the benefits of breastfeeding.

Breast milk is the best food choice for your newborn, that’s why we strongly recommend it due to its many benefits.

1- It is easy to digest and helps the baby’s digestive system.

2- It also increases the immune system of the baby in a way that makes it stronger at defending the body against infections.

3- In addition, it has been proven to lower the possibility of a child developing chronic diseases in the future, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart diseases.

4- It boosts the baby’s intelligence as well.

We extremely advise that the baby stays on breast milk exclusively until the age of 6 months. Only after that age, you could start feeding the baby solid food.
