How long should a mother breastfeed?

- Breastfeeding mothers should be encouraged to do so for at least a year. The longer a
baby is breastfed, the better his or her chances of avoiding certain infections and long-
term ailments are. The higher the benefits to a woman's health, the longer she
breastfeeds (combined nursing of all her children).
When should a mother avoid breastfeeding?
While breastfeeding, only a few drugs are contraindicated (not recommended). Although many
drugs enter into breast milk, the majority have little or no influence on the supply of milk or the
health of a newborn. When providing drugs to breastfeeding women, health care practitioners
should always balance the risks and benefits.
What are human milk banks?
Human milk banks are a service that collects milk from donors and processes, screens, stores,
and distributes donated milk to fulfil the unique needs of those who have been prescribed
human milk by a qualified health care physician. Human milk banks also assist healthy
newborns who have been adopted or are unable to obtain their own mother's milk when
possible. https://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/faq/index.htm
