We are in an era where we have faced a lot of challenges. There is food shortage, there are diseases that are emerging, and so we need to have our immunity boosted.

Breastfeeding is the only food, only food, natural food that is produced by God for the children zero to six months exclusively before complementary food is also initiated to the child, it's given to the child. I see women that is good to give children breast milk. Those children are very intelligent and they look different among other children. They are always the first class children and they are always intelligent in their school. They are always performed well. The nutritionist advised mothers to continue breastfeeding as it creates bonding between mother and child as well as prevents ailments such as breast and ovarian cancer.
