As part of the commemoration of World Breastfeeding Week, the newly elected Mayor of Keetmanshoop, Emrico Blaauw, along with senior medical staff from Keetmanshoop State Hospital, presented donations of baby essentials to 20 mothers in the hospital's maternity ward on Thursday.
The annual World Breastfeeding Week, which runs from 1 to 7 August, aims to promote, protect, and support breastfeeding while raising awareness about the health benefits of breastfeeding for both babies and mothers.
The gift packs contained baby essentials, including baby clothes, nutrients, nappies, and fruits and information materials for the mothers.

A mother's milk is a baby's first source of nourishment and one of their first forms of protection.
Breast milk contains antibodies and essential nutrients that help strengthen a baby's immune system.

Breastmilk gives babies the best start in life.
For the first six months, give your baby only breastmilk, it provides complete nutrition and helps protect against infections.

Today is #WorldNutritionDay 🥗.
#Nutrition is one of the smartest investments we can make, yet it receives just 0.37% of global aid💡.
It’s time to put nutrition at the heart of development, with aligned action across sectors.
