Doctor's advice:

• “Take care of your child’s health from day one! Regular preventive check-ups with a pediatrician are crucial for a child’s healthy development from birth to 18 years old, as timely medical attention can detect and prevent many illnesses. Breastfeeding strengthens a baby’s immunity and lays a solid foundation for growth. Remember, prevention is always more effective than treatment—keep your child healthy!”
