A consultant pediatrician at the National Hospital in Abuja, Dr Otuneye Adekunle, says breastfed babies are a pride to the society and wouldn’t grow up to become terrorists.
Adekunle said told NAN on Saturday on the sidelines of the World Breastfeeding Week celebration at the National Hospital, Abuja. that people who have taken the milk of kindness will not grow up to become terrorists because they have seen love and care.
“By the time you take care of a child for two years that thing remains in the child’s brain and psychologically the child is well taken care of.
“The child will not likely develop to be a criminal or be against the society in the future.
“The mother will be able to talk to the child and the child will listen, but a child that was not breastfed that anybody can feed, you can imagine what will happen.
“So, that is why we are trying to encourage people to see the benefits of breastfeeding which goes beyond the baby, the mother, the family and even the community,” he said.
