SVIMS Director Highlights Early Breastfeeding Benefits
Breastfeeding is super important for babies and moms.
Doctors at SVIMS say breast milk is like a magic drink that helps babies grow strong and healthy, like a natural vaccine.
It also helps moms and babies feel closer.
Giving babies breast milk right after they're born is really important to keep them safe from getting sick.
The first milk, called colostrum, has special ingredients to protect babies.
It's important for moms to get help so they can keep breastfeeding, like having time off from work and places to feed their babies.
SVIMS Director emphasizes the importance of early breastfeeding.
Breast milk is described as vital for infant health and immunity.
Early breastfeeding reduces neonatal mortality.
Support systems like maternity leave are crucial for nursing mothers.
Colostrum, the first milk, is essential for babies.
