If you’re #breastfeeding during the #coronavirus outbreak, wash your hands often to keep your child & yourself safe!

Breastfeeding is a critical component of the sustainable food system. It is the foundation of life and a human right, it saves lives and boost the Nation’s economy. Together we should protect, promote and support breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding contributes to a green🍀 environment.
It does not create pollution, it is ecologically friendly, readily available, affordable, and does not require abnormal human labour to prepare. Thereby resulting in almost no waste.
