Prevention and treatment of conditions during breastfeeding

Abstract

The value of breastfeeding (BF) as a base for rational and adequate nutrition is particularly significant because it sustains child’s vital functions and health, as well as ensures harmony of growth and development. In addition, BF impacts infant’s physical and mental health both at early stages of development and in adulthood (the concept of food programming.) Balanced diet of children from the first days of life ensures harmony and good rates of growth and development, and reduces morbidity; it is one of the key areas of preventive treatment aimed at protecting health and reducing risk of disease in children and adults [1].
