11, August 2018 - Capital City, Carnswell - Today, President Bannister signed a proclamation designating August as National Breastfeeding Month in Boshka. This is in hopes of creating awareness for breastfeeding and promoting it throughout the nation. Â
Breastfeeding contributes to the health and well-being of mothers. Breastfeeding mothers have quicker recovery after childbirth and have natural birth spacing, unlike non-breastfeeding mothers who have slower recovery from childbirth and an early return of menses.  Women who do not breastfeed increase their risk of ovarian cancer by 26% and premenopausal breast cancer by 39%.
