For the first time, Norvik International Hospital has launched a breastfeeding counseling service.
The hospital has launched a breastfeeding counseling service for consultation and support on issues such as how to continue breastfeeding for working women, what problems can occur during breastfeeding.
"Mothers who cannot breastfeed their babies well can take this service," said Safia Khatun, Lactation Consultant of the hospital, "We advise working women on how to continue breastfeeding."
At the
clinic, breast massage (Japanese technical manual massage) helps to increase milk production, and any breast problems of breastfeeding mothers can be solved.
Similarly, Khatun said that mothers who have not breastfed for some time and want to breastfeed again will be supported and taught appropriate methods of breastfeeding. Breastfeeding counseling service is being operated from Sunday to Friday from 12 noon to 4 pm.
Similarly, on the occasion of World Breastfeeding Week which started on July 16th, the hospital is going to hold a special breastfeeding awareness program for mothers and pregnant women on July 21st.
The hospital has also requested to contact the phone number 01-5970032 to participate in the breastfeeding counseling service and awareness program.
In Nepal, the number of people who breastfeed within one hour after birth remains stable, but the number of people who breastfeed until 6 months is decreasing. According to the Nepal Demographic Health Survey, the number of breastfeeding within one hour of birth in 2016 and 2022 is 55 percent.
