The Society for Health, Education and Women Empowerment Awareness (SHEWA) organised an orientation programme at SAI College of Nursing to create awareness regarding breast-feeding. Addressing the gathering, Dr Sujata Sanjay said that in India, only 45 per cent mothers initiate early breastfeeding. The delay in breastfeeding initiation reduces baby's access to the mother's nutritious and immune system-boosting first milk known as colostrum and significantly increases neonate's death risk.
