Ten million children die each year from birth-related causes. One million babies would be saved each year if all mothers breastfed properly. Ghana found one simple solution for saving babies—mothers are taught to exclusively breastfeed through instruction and songs. In five years exclusive breastfeeding (mother’s milk only) increased by 22%. Mothers say their babies are healthier and happier.
Please take less than 4 minutes to review this wonderful video on the success of Ghana’s program of saving babies. This program could be implemented anywhere.
