Commenting on this,\u00a0Dr Jayashree Jayakrishnan\u00a0<\/strong>said\u00a0\u201cWe aim to educate the entire family in order to prepare them to face the pregnancy period and the post pregnancy phase together. We emphasize that the family gets involved especially in the post pregnancy phase in order to help mothers attain optimal breastfeeding. Optimal breastfeeding provides positive effects on both children and mothers thereby preventing malnutrition. It plays a very crucial role in maintaining good health and wellbeing of women and child which actually forms the basis of a country\u2019s overall development and future<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Early weeks of Breast feeding is really challenging .Increasing breast feeding rates is not just the responsibility of the Mum. It is our collective responsibility to encourage her during this period<\/em>” said\u00a0Dr Premalatha<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to a 2016 study published in the LANCET Journal,\u00a0In India, breastfeeding is inadequate as only 55% babies are exclusively breastfed 0-6 months and only 41% are able to begin breastfeeding within an hour of birth. According to a new study with an accompanying tool, annually, inadequate breastfeeding results in 100,000 preventable child deaths (mainly due to diarrhoea and pneumonia), 34.7 Million cases of diarrhoea, 2.4 Million cases of pneumonia, and 40,382 cases of obesity in India. Health impact on mothers is more than 7000 cases of breast cancer, 1700 of ovarian cancer and 87000 of type- 2 diabetes. Formula feeding of children aged 0-23 months results in more than INR 25393.77 crores and INR 727.18 crores spending on health care due to illness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
