Title

Breast Feeding Babies in the Northern Territory

Author(s)
Shelley, Cheryl
Abstract
The advantages of breast feeding and maintaining good health of lactating mothers are highlighted and the problems faced by babies who are deprived of breast-feeding are mentioned. Health workers must impart knowledge about bottle-feeding such as the measurement and preparation of milk mixture, hygiene and sterility to be maintained in case of mothers and guardians who need to bottle feed their babies, and encourage breast-feeding wherever possible.
