SLSVIH/2026 Awareness on Breastfeeding: Women and Child Development Department Issues Special Guidelines for Optimal Health of Mother and Child Chandigarh, September 28 – A special ‘Breastfeeding Awareness’ campaign is being conducted by the Department of Women and Child Development, Government of Haryana, with the objective of promoting better health and nutrition for newborns and mothers. Providing information in this regard, a departmental spokesperson stated that mother’s milk is a child’s first vaccine, first meal, and first love, which plays a vital role in the overall development of the child. He mentioned that breastfeeding is beneficial not only for the child but also for the mother’s health. Highlighting the benefits to the mother, he said that breastfeeding helps the uterus return to its normal size faster, reduces the risk of breast and ovarian cancer, assists in weight loss, and strengthens the emotional bond between mother and child. Furthermore, it is also economically helpful, as mother’s milk is always clean, safe, and easily available. Mentioning its benefits for the child, he shared that it provides natural immunity to protect the child from diseases, aids in brain development, and offers every nutrient in the required proportion. It is easily digestible, reducing the risk of allergies, diarrhea, and infections, and is always available as a safe and ready meal. The spokesperson shared detailed guidelines regarding when and how breastfeeding should be done. He stated that breastfeeding should be initiated immediately after birth, i.e., within one hour. After this, the baby should be fed exclusively mother’s milk for the first 6 months. Upon completing 6 months, breastfeeding should be continued alongside the introduction of adequate complementary foods, and can be sustained until the child is 2 years of age or older. Offering essential advice for breastfeeding mothers, the spokesperson said that mothers themselves should consume clean, nutritious food and plenty of fluids. Along with this, taking complete rest, staying away from smoking, alcohol, or any substance abuse, and washing hands thoroughly before breastfeeding are crucial. He also appealed to family members to provide full support and encouragement to breastfeeding mothers. Delivering the message, “Mother’s milk is priceless — adopt it, secure the child’s future,” the spokesperson stated that for any assistance or information, one can contact the Women Helpline number 181 or the Child Helpline number 1098. Additionally, detailed information is also available on the departmental website www.wcdhry.gov.in.
