World Breastfeeding Week is being observed across the globe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is an annual event which is marked from 1st to 7th August every year. It is aimed at educating parents on proper way of breastfeeding.<\/p>\n

Constance Odonkor is Principal Midwifery Officer at Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department of the Korle-bu Teaching Hospital in Greater Accra Region. She said, \u201cthis program is to sensitise the entire public to support and promote breastfeeding\u201d.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe realized that breastfeeding has a lot of importance, and a lot of women are not going by diet requirement so unfortunately, our newborn babies will not get the right nutrients for them to have optimal growth,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n

According to Madam Odonkor, \u201cbreastfeeding protects babies against infection, apart from that babies who are breastfed makes them brilliant, according to research. Also, with the mother, breast-feeding protects them from breast cancer and as well babies who are breastfed fortunately do not have diarrhea\u201d.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cParents should adopt best practices as well as to encourage exclusive breastfeeding at early stages of their babies and can add nutritious food after six months,\u201d she advised.<\/p>\n\n

This year\u2019s theme for the breastfeeding week is \u201cClosing the gap: Breastfeeding Support for all\u201d.<\/p>\n
