Vaccination Camps For Girls

Experts recommend that children be breastfed within one hour of birth, exclusively breastfed for the first six months, and then breastfed until age two with age-appropriate, nutritionally adequate and safe complementary foods. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends for the U.S. that after 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding, babies should continue to breastfeed “for a year and for as long as is mutually desired by the mother and baby”.

Inadequate nutrition is an underlying cause of the deaths of more than 2.6 million children and over 100,000 mothers every year. These are details that are relatively unknown in backward areas and MES’ Breast feeding awareness camps function as a link between the population and the health care activists who provide essential information to the village womenfolk.
