Mother's Greatest Gift Ever!1

World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) 1 Aug to 7 Aug 2015  ( विश्व स्तनपान सप्ताह १ - ७ अगस्त २०१५ ) Breastfeeding is mother's gift to herself n her child (pic source google images) WBW came up with the goal to promote exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life which yields tremendous health benefits, providing critical nutrients, protection from deadly diseases such as pneumonia and fostering growth and development. This year's theme is "Breastfeeding and Work: Let’s Make It Work!" Whether a woman is working in the formal, non-formal or home setting, it is necessary that she is empowered in claiming her and her baby’s right to breastfeed.
