Nurse Abigail stressed the various advantages of breastfeeding, benefiting both mother and child by nurturing healthy growth and development.
She stated that the thick yellowish milk (colostrum) produced for the first few days following birth is particularly rich in antibodies and should not be squeezed out as done by many women.
In recognition of Nurse Abigail’s impactful contributions, the Rotary Club of Ikeja Alausa extended an honorarium and presented her with a Certificate of Appreciation at her hospital, Hamkad Hospital Abulegba lauding her commitment to maternal and child well-being.
