Eluru Collector Promotes Breastfeeding Awareness During Breast Milk Week
Breastfeeding is super important for babies and moms!
When a baby is born, it's best to feed them breast milk right away.
Breast milk helps babies get stronger and protects them from getting sick.
Moms who breastfeed are less likely to get breast cancer.
Breast milk has everything a baby needs for the first six months, so no other food or drinks are needed.
Breastfeeding also helps moms feel less stressed.
The government is helping by creating places for moms to breastfeed in public, like at bus stops and malls.
They want to make sure all moms know how good breastfeeding is for both them and their babies!
District Collector Vetriselvi emphasized the importance of breast milk during Breast Milk Week.
Breastfeeding is recommended immediately after birth for enhanced infant immunity.
Breastfeeding reduces a mother's risk of breast cancer.
Breast milk provides all necessary nutrients for the first six months of life.
Breastfeeding rooms are available in the district, with plans for more.
