He said; “The government, workplace and religious institutions should assist breastfeeding mothers.”
Also, the chief of nutrition, UNICEF Nigeria, Dr. Namat Hajeebhay, said; “Breast milk is the most essential food you can give to your child during the first six months of his life”. She urged every woman to breastfeed their children effectively for a healthy growth.
The chairperson, Nutrition Society of Nigeria, FCT chapter, Dr. Florence Uchendu, stressed the need for mothers to take nutritional food that would boost the breast milk to have healthy children. She also urged mothers to desist from giving their infants milk formula.
