The theme is aimed at encouraging breastfeeding as it is a very important thing and plays a very important role in the early development of a baby. World Breastfeeding Week is observed to emphasise the importance of regular breastfeeding for babies. Every year, the day starts on August 1 and concludes on August 7. According to the World Health Organisation, infants who are breastfed are more intellectual and fit. Breast milk contains antibodies that help your baby fight off viruses and bacteria. Breastfeeding lowers your baby's risk of having asthma or allergies. Plus, babies who are breastfed exclusively for the first 6 months, without any formula, have fewer ear infections, respiratory illnesses, and bouts of diarrhea. Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan is an efficacious attempt to fight against substance abuse and raise awareness for healthy lifestyles. BLSKS always try to come up with relatable content on the harmful impact of drugs on society.
