Q 1. Exclusive breastfeeding is when you breastfeed your baby from after delivery to 6 months of age with only breastmilk( no formula or water) at least 6 -7 times a day (ie 6-12 times in 24hrs) both on demand (eg crying) and not on demand. This brings you closer to your baby and that's why it's called Baby Friendly. You become your baby friend. Breastfeeding doesn't mean feeding baby 3 times a day like in older children or adults. Babies's intestines are not well developed as in older growing children and as in adults (2/2)
