Kareena Kapoor advocates importance of breast feeding while giving advice to new mothers

Since the time Kareena Kapoor Khan has given birth to cutipie Taimur, we simply haven’t stopped gushing about the baby. And not just Taimur, Kareena too has set a new benchmark in motherhood by breaking all the stereotypes. She lost all the baby fat that she had gained within no time and is also setting an example by being working mother. Hence, she definitely makes up for a role model for many. On this note, Kareena has shared some very important advice for the new mothers. Read on…(Also Read: THIS is what Kareena Kapoor Khan’s sign looks like post marriage)

The three advices she has shared are:

First, we need to feed our newborn babies in the best way that we can: with our breast milk. To give your baby the best start in life that he or she deserves, start breast feeding within the first hour of life – and feed the baby only breast milk, nothing else.

Second, we need to challenge harmful beliefs and practices that are putting our babies in danger. We need to entrust ourselves to skilled birth attendants who are properly trained to look after us and our babies in the time around birth.If these people are not available, we need to demand them. No woman should give birth without help from a trained birth attendant. It is too dangerous.

Third, we need to look after our girls just as well as we look after our boys. As females ourselves, it is incredibly sad that baby girls do not always get the same care that baby boys do. If your baby girl becomes unwell, get help for them just as quickly as you would do for a boy.

Kareena recently launched ‘Every Child Alive’ campaign by UNICEF. This campaign is to bring awareness about the harsh reality of the deaths of millions of newborns owning to improper care and malnourishment.

On this, Kareena has quoted, “In our part of the world, one million babies die every year in their first month of life. 2,800 newborns dye every day in South Asia, before they even reach the age of one month! This is both overwhelming and totally unacceptable to me, especially knowing that these deaths are preventable! UNICEF has launched its Every Child Alive campaign this Tuesday to speak out against this harsh reality. In South Asia, one in every 36 babies dies within a month. The latest UNICEF data shows that no region in the world is more dangerous than South Asia for newborns.”
