Why breastfeeding matters
Breastfeeding is recommended by the WHO for the first 6 months of a baby's life. In Tunisia, more and more mothers choose exclusive breastfeeding, supported by associations and healthcare professionals.
Practical tips to get started
- Skin-to-skin from birth — ideally within the first hours
- Comfortable position — use a nursing pillow to support baby
- Frequency — feed on demand, about 8 to 12 times per 24 hours
- Hydration — drink plenty of water, especially in Tunisia's climate
Resources in Tunisia
- Consultations at public and private maternity wards
- Support groups on social media
- Midwives and pediatricians in all regions
