## Caption

Breastmilk is first medicine as well as first traditional food. Did you know that breastfed babies have a lower risk of infant mortality than babies who are not breastfed? Researchers found that breastfed babies have a 21% lower risk of death in their first year of life. The risk is 38% lower when babies were breastfed for 3 months or longer. Breastfeeding can be challenging so getting the right support is crucial. We support women in their breastfeeding efforts!
