*Mothering through breastfeeding is the most natural and effective way of understanding and satisfying the needs of the baby.
*Mother and baby need to be together early and often to establish a satisfying relationship and an adequate milk supply.
*In the early years the baby has an intense need to be with his mother which is as basic as his need for food.
*Human milk is the natural food for babies, uniquely meeting their changing needs.
*For
the healthy full-term baby, breast milk is the only food necessary
until baby shows signs of needing solids, about the middle of the first
year after birth.
*Ideally the breastfeeding relationship will continue until the baby outgrows the need.
*Alert and active participation by the mother in childbirth is a help in getting breastfeeding off to a good start.
*Breastfeeding
is enhanced and the nursing couple sustained by the loving support,
help and companionship of the baby's father. A father's unique
relationship with his baby is an important element in the child's
development from early infancy.
*Good nutrition means eating a well-balanced and varied diet of foods in as close to their natural state as possible.
*From
infancy on, children need loving guidance which reflects acceptance of
their capabilities and sensitivity to their feelings.
