Mysore/Mysuru: “Breastfeeding is nature’s gift every mother is bestowed with, to nourish her baby with all the nutrients essential for their growth and development of the baby. Generally, breastfeeding came naturally to almost every mother, but in recent times owing to several factors, there has risen a need where it now ‘needs to be taught’. Many mothers are now experiencing lactation-related issues which are easily identifiable and treatable if the mother receives timely guidance,” said Dr. Shaheen Akhtar, Consultant Obstetrics and Gynaecologist, Manipal Hospital, Mysuru.
She was addressing a press conference, organised by Manipal Hospital as part of Breast Feed Week, at Pathrakartara Bhavan in city recently.
