REVEALED! Health Scribe Laments Low Breastfeeding Rate among Abuja-Big Babes

The Executive Secretary, FCT Primary Health Care Development Board, Dr. Rilwan Mohammed
has decried the low rate of breastfeeding among mothers in the FCT, which he noted was
only
8 per cent.
Mohammed, who stated this while monitoring progress of the Maternal, Newborn and Child Health Week in the FCT, noted that because of elitist behaviour, many mothers often stay away from breastfeeding their babies, opting for other foods without paying attention to hygiene.
Stressing the benefits of breast milk, he said “it gives immunity to children, gives satisfaction to the mother and has anti-infective properties to prevent the child from getting infections.”
“But because we don’t breast feed our babies and give them all sorts of food, without taking cognisance of hygiene, we are having a lot of malnutrition in the FCT and that is why we are deworming the children.”


.....Abeg Abuja babes try breast feed una babies. Breast feeding doesn't make una breast drop down.
