Solution

Breast-feeding during the initial period is recommended because the mother’s first milk, called colostrum, contains essential antibodies that help develop resistance in newborn babies, making them healthy and strong. This early milk boosts the baby’s immune system and protects against infections. Hence, doctors advise breast-feeding to ensure the baby’s healthy growth and immunity.
