[word="breast-feeding"]
In these poorer populations breast-feeding and good weaning practices are important . Not only does the programme provide custodial care , health care , and nutrition surveillance , but women are given work credit for breast-feeding their infants [ 135 ] . Because of the increasing recognition of the importance of foetal and early childhood nutrition throughout the life cycle , data on breast-feeding and complementary feeding are included for the first time in an ACC / SCN report on the world nutrition situation . If you encounter problems when breast-feeding in public , contact your local breast-feeding support organization ( such as La Leche League ) for supportive information regarding the laws in your area . This may be because a breast-feeding woman needs the extra calories , nutrient and fluids for her own body 's health .
