Lagos
State Commissioner for Information, Steve Ayorinde, has advised
fathers to allow their babies enjoy the period of brea$tfeed!ng.
He said this in a message to a Bre@stfeeding Awareness Campaign
organised by the Lagos chapter of the Nigeria Association of Women
Journalists (NAWOJ)/
The
commissioner, represented by Mrs Toro Oladapo, a former NAWOJ President
and Director, Public Affairs, Lagos Ministry of Information, said
fathers should stop competing for bre@sts with their babies.
“Nothing is natural like brea$t milk,” he said, noting that human milk is better for babies than animal milk.
“Thank you so much for promoting the essence of womanh00d.
“The media should help ensure mothers are bre@stfeeding to raise a healthy nation.
“You will all agree with me that children that are bre@stfed distinguish themselves academically,’’ he said.
The
commissioner said that women, in the past, used bre@stfeeding for
child-spacing and family planning, urging NAWOJ to spread the awareness.
