Human breast milk is the healthiest option for infants. In Australia, guidelines recommend that infants be exclusively breastfed until the age of 6 months, when solid foods can start to be introduced. It is also recommended that breastfeeding continues (where possible) until the infant is 12 months of age, and beyond, for as long as the mother and child wish to continue.
