Breastfeeding is the normal and unequalled method of feeding infants. Health Canada promotes breastfeeding - exclusively for the first six months, and sustained for up to two years or longer with appropriate complementary feeding - for the nutrition, immunologic protection, growth, and development of infants and toddlers.
