Breastfeeding and human milk are the normative standards for infant feeding and nutrition for the first six months of life according to the Canadian Paediatric Society and the American Academy of Pediatrics.[1][2] Human milk should be the sole source of nutrition for the first six months, however the Canadian Paediatric Society and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend supplementation with Vitamin D.[1] [2]

Benefits of breastfeeding
The Canadian Paediatric Society reported that breastfeeding is associated with "improved cognitive development."[1]
The American Academy of Pediatrics reports that, as compared with formula feeding, breastfeeding reduces Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, infant and neonatal mortality, lower respiratory tract infection, severe or persistent diarrhea, otitis media, asthma, eczema, Crohn's disease, colitis, childhood and adult obesity, diabetes, and leukemia.[2]
Circumcision impairs commencement of breastfeeding
Neonatal circumcision is a medically unnecessary, non-therapeutic, intensely painful surgery that is carried out just the time when breastfeeding is being commenced. Circumcision causes extreme pain, trauma, and shock. The infant boy is left in a debilitated state in which he is unable to manage to breastfeed,[3] [4] which frequently results in the introduction of formula feeding to the detriment of a boy's health.
