Below we present an amazing video
documentary produced by UNICEF, WABA.org, and the World Health Organization (WHO) demonstrating a baby's natural ability to find the breast soon after birth.
UNICEF, WABA.org, and WHO along with the scientific community strongly recommend initiating breastfeeding within half an hour of birth.
Evidence shows that early initiation can prevent 22% of all deaths among babies below one month in developing countries.
Save and Enrich a Life!
Help every mother and baby experience this miracle
and initiate breastfeeding the nature's way.

Every
newborn, when placed on the mother's abdomen, soon after birth, has the
ability to find her mother's breast all on her own and to decide when
to take the first breastfeed. This is called the 'Breast Crawl'. It is
nature's miraculous way of initiating breastfeeding. This project is
undertaken by UNICEF Maharashtra and BPNI Maharashtra.
