Baby food weakening child to grow healthy

Health experts underscored the need for banning marketing of all artificial baby foods including tinned milk in the country to save the infants from the hazards they face. They said if the infants up to six months are breastfed instead of allowing them to consume artificial food, it would help them to grow physically and mentally strong besides strengthening their immune system. Bangladesh Breastfeeding Foundation (BBF) and BRAC are jointly working for creating awareness among the people about the breastfeeding practice among the mothers for healthy growth of their children. They are also working to discourage the mothers to give artificial milk to their children, according to a news agency.
