Description
An estimated 1.2 million children's lives would be saved every year if the majority of mothers exclusively breastfed their children for the first six months of life. Breastfeeding prevents death from malnutrition and helps develop the immune system, improving the response to vaccines and preventing infections, including diarrheal diseases.
Created for World Breastfeeding Week 2010, the video series 10 Steps to Successful Breastfeeding outlines the successful breastfeeding practices and instructions that should be implemented by every clinic providing maternity services and care for newborn infants.
