Celebrating World Breastfeeding Week in Lesotho

In celebration of World Breastfeeding Week, the Infant & Young Child Nutrition Project, with the Ministry of Health and other partners, organized a special event to promote exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months after birth and launch demonstration gardens to grow nutritious foods for complementary feeding after six months. During a nationally televised event, Lesotho's Queen Masenate Bereng Seeiso encouraged families across the country to build similar gardens at their homes to help improve complementary feeding and prevent malnutrition for their children.
