From the very First Feed to Nurturing Every Beginning, One Conversation at a Time.💕

Breastfeeding is more than a mother's first gift to her child. It is a powerful foundation for lifelong health, nutrition, and bonding.

This World Breastfeeding Week, communities across urban and rural Bhiwandi, including IGMH, came together to celebrate, learn, and support mothers in making informed choices for their babies. Reaching nearly 2,000 participants including pregnant and lactating women, mothers, children, family members, and elders, the campaign transformed awareness into meaningful community conversations.

From captivating puppet shows that challenged myths and misconceptions to interactive debates, live demonstrations of correct breastfeeding positioning, and personal testimonials from mothers, every activity encouraged open dialogue and shared learning. Health workers, including ANMs, ASHAs, Sevikas, and SNEHA volunteers, reinforced one simple but powerful message:

✨ Initiate breastfeeding within the first hour of birth.
✨ Feed babies only breast milk for the first six months.
✨ Avoid water, honey, animal milk, or any other foods during this period.

By creating safe spaces for questions, discussion, and peer learning, the celebration strengthened community support for breastfeeding and empowered families to give every child the healthiest possible start in life.🤱🏻

Together, we are building communities where every mother is informed, supported, and every child receives the best start from the very first feed.🤝

As part of World Breastfeeding Week 2026, SNEHA, in partnership with the public health system and under the CSR initiative of Kotak Mahindra Asset Management Companies Limited (KMAMC), conducted breastfeeding awareness sessions led by ASHAs and health system staff across intervention areas. This is part of the continued efforts that SNEHA and KMAMC have been closely engaged in to strengthen maternal and newborn health services across vulnerable and low-income communities in Maharashtra.

Through role plays, songs and interactive discussions, ASHAs engaged 500 beneficiaries through a total of 18 sessions, primarily antenatal and postnatal women and their families on the importance of early initiation and exclusive breastfeeding. The initiative reinforced key breastfeeding messages while demonstrating the growing ownership of frontline health workers in promoting maternal and newborn health within their communities.

Promoting breastfeeding has always been at the forefront of SNEHA's commitment to improving maternal and newborn health, as it is one of the most effective ways to ensure a healthy start for every child while supporting the health and well-being of mothers. Inspired by the vision of our founder, Dr. Armida Fernandez, whose pioneering work in establishing Asia's first human milk bank earned her the Padma Shri, SNEHA continues to promote breastfeeding through community awareness and health systems strengthening.🤝
