 Understanding Exclusive Breast Milk
Mother's Milk (ASI) is a fatty emulsion in
protein, lactose and inorganic salts secreted by
the mother's mammary glands, which is useful
as food for the baby. Exclusive breastfeeding is
breastfeeding without food and other
supplementary beverages in infants aged 0 to 6
months. Even water is not given in this exclusive
breastfeeding stage.
How to achieve Exclusive Breast Milk
WHO and UNICEF recommend the
following steps to initiate and achieve exclusive
breastfeeding by breastfeeding within one hour
after birth Exclusive breastfeeding: only
breastmilk. That is, no added food or other
drinks, even water. Breastfeed whenever the
baby asks (on-demand), as often as the baby
wants, day and night.
 Do not use bottles of milk or
pacifiers. Eating milk by pumping or blushing by
hand, while not with the child and controlling
emotions and thoughts to calm down
Misunderstanding of Exclusive Breast Milk

that does not mean breastfeeding is
stopped. Along with the introduction of food to
the baby, breastfeeding is still done, should
breastfeed two years according to WHO
recommendations.
