Celebrating the World Breastfeeding Week (Aug. 1 - Aug. 7), Dr. Sunil Kumar Agrawal, attending consultant, neonatology, at Fortis Hospital, Mohali, talks to Themedguru about common breastfeeding issues and clarifies new mothers' doubts.
Themedguru: What are the important things to note for the first time mothers?
Dr. Agrawal: Mothers need to be educated or motivated about the right ways to breastfeed since conception. During the pre-natal period, specifically the last three months of pregnancy, they should be told about the benefits of breastfeeding and the practical aspects involved as most of them are not aware of these.
