World Health Organization recommend breastfeeding exclusively (no formula, juice, or water) for 6 months. Breastfeeding duration depends on a number of determinants, some of which may be modifiable. These include traditional healthcare practices; influence of the family and friends; living environment; maternal education, employment, and workplace; and availability of breast-milk substitutes. The importance of various factors to the initiation and duration of breastfeeding can be different due to socioeconomic and cultural background. Making the decision to breastfeed is a personal matter. It's also one that's likely to draw strong opinions from friends and family.
