Scientific researches still insists on the great importance of breast feeding, What did Allah Almighty tell us about that in the holy Qur’an?………
Scientists proved that the baby must fed by his mother’s breast for two whole years, and that is the ideal period. Dr Margaret Chan the WHO Director-General say that exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of a child’s life, ranks among the most effective interventions for improving child survival and health.
Researchers say that Mothers need support not only to begin breastfeeding within one hour of birth, but also to sustain exclusive breastfeeding for six months, and continue breastfeeding for two years or beyond, as well as giving other nutritious foods.
Allah Almighty told us this medical advice 1400 years ago by saying: (The mothers shall give suck to their children for two whole years, (that is) for those (parents) who desire to complete the term of suckling,)(Sûrat Al-Baqarah-verse233).We must notice that He Almighty didn’t only say two years but He said a two whole years.
The question is who told our prophet this recent scientific fact which is published by the most advanced medical and health association in the twenty one century?.
