Government addresses decline in exclusive breastfeeding rates

Government addresses decline in exclusive breastfeeding rates

The government has noticed that fewer mothers are exclusively breastfeeding their babies for the first six months.

This is happening because of different social and cultural reasons, like using baby formula and family practices.

The government is trying to fix this by teaching mothers about breastfeeding and setting up special centers to help.

They have also started programmes to train healthcare workers and spread awareness in communities.

A recent study showed that these efforts are helping new mothers learn about breastfeeding.
