Some health experts have enjoined Nigerian women to adequately breastfeed their babies to prevent frequent visits to the hospital.
At a recent gathering of the association, Dr. Akin Jimoh explained that exclusive breastfeeding will help to prevent diseases and promote good health among children, warning that the use of mosquito nets is another way of preventing the spread of malaria in a community. “Let us look at breastfeeding, a child that is properly breastfed has chances to be healthier than those that are not properly breastfed. The chances of breastfed babies going to the hospital are reduced compared to those that are not properly breastfed. By properly breastfeeding our children, we are preventing the spread of diseases”.
“That was one of the things we were able to achieve in Ondo State. We made sure that the state Assembly approved the budget for cancer and that has even snowballed into something much greater and bigger because before my husband’s tenure ends, we are bent on presenting a cancer treatment centre for Ondo State people.”
