Breastfeeding is an irreplaceable, in biological and emotional aspect, basis of mother and child’s health. The aim of this paper was to present the review of research results on advantages of natural feeding and benefits of breastfeeding, presentation of breast massage technique as a way of supporting natural feeding, as well as contraindications to breastfeeding. In spite of the propagation, the number of mothers who feed their children in natural way is still considerably low. At present, the American Academy of Paediatrics recommends nursing for 6 months, and continuing it until first year of child’s life (or longer, depending on mother or child’s needs),

introducing, at the same time, supplementary food. The issue of breastfeeding should be widely spread among women mainly by midwifes, who should propagate nursing with commitment and provide proper information, emphasising its positive influence on the health of mother and child.
