The Youth Perspective - Season 11 Episode 27 - World Breastfeeding Protection Day 2025
In this episode of The Youth Perspective, we are joined by Nursing Officer I, Community Health Nurse, Registered Midwife, and Registered Nurse Trineka McCardy, and Registered Nurse, as we discuss World Breastfeeding Protection Day on May 21st.
Breastfeeding, from birth up to two years or beyond, is critical for children’s health, growth, and development.
It provides essential nutrients, strengthens the immune system, lowers the risk of illness, and helps prevent infant mortality and morbidity.
For mothers, breastfeeding also offers long-term health benefits, including a reduced risk of certain chronic diseases.
