Makri, a leading community organization, is proud to support the upcoming seminar on promoting breastfeeding.

The event aims to educate parents, caregivers, and healthcare professionals on the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding and explore ways to support breastfeeding mothers.

The Importance of Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is essential for the growth and development of infants. It provides complete nutrition and protects against infections and chronic diseases.

Breastmilk contains antibodies and other components that help strengthen the immune system and reduce the risk of illnesses such as respiratory infections, diarrhea, and allergies.

Breastfeeding also has numerous benefits for mothers. It helps reduce the risk of postpartum bleeding and speed up postpartum recovery. It also lowers the risk of breast, ovarian, and cervical cancer, and osteoporosis.

Breastfeeding also promotes bonding between mother and child and is an economic choice for families.

Challenges of Breastfeeding

Despite the benefits of breastfeeding, many mothers face challenges in initiating and continuing breastfeeding.

Lack of support from family, society, and healthcare professionals, limited maternity leave, and pressures to return to work can all impact a mother’s decision to breastfeed.

Unsupportive public policies and cultural norms also contribute to the decline in breastfeeding rates, especially among marginalized and low-income families.

The seminar aims to address these challenges and provide resources and support for breastfeeding mothers and families.

Supporting Breastfeeding Mothers

The seminar will feature keynote speakers and expert panelists who will share their insights and experiences on promoting breastfeeding.

The topics to be covered include the benefits of breastfeeding, overcoming challenges, breastfeeding and the workplace, breastfeeding and cultural beliefs, and building support networks for breastfeeding mothers.

The event will also provide opportunities for networking and sharing of best practices among participants.

There will be exhibits from health organizations and companies that support breastfeeding, as well as workshops on breastfeeding techniques and breastmilk pumping.
