Answer:

Six months.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mother's milk is important for the child as it provides the proteins and antibodies to fight against the disease. The doctors recommend the breast milk for the infants.

American academy of pediatrics have recommended that infants should be given six months breast feeding. This breast feeding acts as the complete diet for the infants and improves their immunity.

Thus, the answer is six months.
