Breastfeeding is a fundamental aspect of nurturing a newborn, offering countless health benefits for both mother and child. However, the journey of breastfeeding can be challenging, especially for new mothers. At Fakeeh University Hospital (FUH) in Dubai, we understand these challenges and provide expert breastfeeding support to ensure that every mother receives the care and guidance she needs to succeed in her breastfeeding journey.
Breastfeeding is more than just a method of feeding your baby; it is a powerful tool for bonding and providing essential nutrients that are critical for the healthy development of a newborn. Breast milk contains a perfect mix of vitamins, protein, and fat, everything your baby needs to grow. Moreover, it contains antibodies that help your baby fight off viruses and bacteria, reducing the risk of infections, allergies, and other health issues.
