Nothing can describe the complete joy of meeting and touching your baby for the first time. This beautiful bond forged at the first moments of life is further strengthened by the act of breastfeeding. In conjuction with the World Breastfeeding Week 2014 (1st – 7th August 2014), The Malaysian Medical Gazette will be publishing articles regarding breastfeeding benefits, opinions, frequently asked questions and medical/health issues. We hope that these articles will help in the promotion, protection and support of breastfeeding.
This year’s slogan “BREASTFEEDING: A winning goal – For Life!” is the perfect inspiration to create more community awareness and much needed support for breastfeeding mothers in Malaysia. We hope to provide the community with easy access to accurate information regarding breastfeeding and stress the importance of providing a conducive environment for breastfeeding mothers at home, at work and in the community.
