According to WHO “Off the 135 million babies born every year, only 42% are breastfed within the first hour of life, and only 38 % of mothers practice exclusive breastfeeding during the first six month and 2 out of 3 children are not breastfed at all.” Thus, it becomes even more important to observe World Breastfeeding Week.
We At Trident Foundation, is aligned with the Theme: “Step up for Breastfeeding: Educate and Support” and is organising awareness sessions in Anganwadi centres across Punjab and MP, recognising the importance of breastfeeding in managing the double burden of malnutrition, reducing inequities, and providing food security. The aim is to revamp the capacity through education to highlight the huge benefits that breastfeeding can bring to the health and Well-being of babies and overall benefits to maternal health.
