We all know that breast milk is the liquid gold of infant nutrition.

Breastfeeding is a precious gift for the child, it also forms the basis of his nutrition with a complete diet. Neonates and children need adequate safety, affection and nutrition. The World Health Organization advises children to breastfeed until they are six months old and provide nutritious food for two years or more. In the early stages of a baby’s life, breast milk meets and fulfils all the nutrient needs.

Few Factors that Justify why is it necessary
● Breastfeeding helps in the brain development of infant and reduces the risk of behavioural learning problems
● Breastfeeding enhances the immunity power of the infant and helps in the necessary physical and mental development
● Breastfeeding reduces diarrhoea and respiratory system problems in infants and reduces the risk of infection. Breastfeeding infants are less sick than non-breastfeeding infants
● During breastfeeding, the heat received from the physical connection through the mother helps in strengthening the emotional relationship between the mother and the child
● Reduces the risk of future diseases, such as diabetes, stomach problems, cancer and blood pressure
● It reaches the body of the child at the right temperature in every season
● The infants who are not breastfed are 11 times more likely to die of pneumonia. Similarly, the probability of dying of diarrhoea in these children is also 15 times higher.

Around 38 per cent of children in Madhya Pradesh is only breastfed for 6 months. If we explore the statistics of Madhya Pradesh, out of 14 lakh children who take birth every year, only 8.2 lakh children are given mother's milk for 6 months while 5.8 lakh children are deprived of it. According to a press release, the rate of initial breastfeeding has almost doubled in the last decade. There is a growth in the rate of milk being given to children under 6 months of age. It has increased from 46.4 per cent (NFH-3) to 54.9 (NFH-4) per cent.

We know that World Breastfeeding Week is observed in the first week of August to focus attention on the important aspect of promotion and support of breastfeeding. The slogan of World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) 2018 is Breastfeeding: Foundation of Life.
