Breastfeeding, an act that has accompanied humanity since time immemorial, stands as one of the most essential and transcendental experiences for the development of a human being. It is not simply the transfer of nutrients from a mother to her child, but a multidimensional process ranging from nutrition to the establishment of deep emotional bonds. Science has repeatedly demonstrated the myriad benefits of breastfeeding for both baby and mother, yet the importance of this practice remains underestimated in many parts of the world. In this editorial, we will explore the key aspects that make breastfeeding a cornerstone of infant health and well-being, as well as the challenges facing its promotion globally.
