World Breastfeeding Week, a seminar explaining the importance of breastfeeding to pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and an exhibition on healthy food was held today at Velammal Hospital Auditorium.
This awareness programme was inaugurated by District Child Development Project Officer (ICDS) Mrs. Helen Rose, Jointly conducted by Velammal Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Madurai Voice Trust and Madurai District Integrated Child Development Project Center.
As newborn baby depends only on breastfeeding, it is important for breastfeeding mothers to pay more attention to their foods and drinks. When breastfeeding, the body releases antioxidant hormones. It not only maintains the health of children but also strengthens the bond between mother and child. However, all this is possible only if the mother eats the right food while breastfeeding. Nutrition Food Exhibition was also held to explain this.
Velammal Hospital Nutritionist Dr. Mahalakshmi, Women’s Welfare Specialist Chitra, explained the benefits of Thai milk to mothers who attended the seminar.
More than 200 breastfeeding mothers participated in this. And Velammal Hospital President Mr. M. V. This seminar was successfully held in the presence of Muthuramalingam, Hospital Dean, Dr. Thirunavukkarasu and Medical Superintendent Dr. Damodaran. Thanks given by Mr. Murugesan, founder of Voice Trust and Suji Healthcare.
