The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, UNICEF, has said exclusive breastfeeding remains the foundation for the child’s survival.
This was disclosed by the Nutrition specialist, UNICEF Rivers field office, Mrs. Ngozi Onuora during a zonal media dialogue in Uyo for select journalists on the commemoration of the 2021 World Breastfeeding week by UNICEF in collaboration with Broadcasting Corporation of Abia state. She, therefore, urged stakeholders including the media to intensify advocacy on exclusive breastfeeding as the benefits to the development and overall well-being of a child are enormous.
“Exclusive breastfeeding has a lot of benefit. Breastfeeding is a powerful life-saver. It is also critical to the long term health and well-being of both mother and child. Unfortunately, the majority of world’s mothers are not able to optimally breastfeed their children.”
