Breastfeeding: Key to Preventing Stunted Growth

Breastfeeding is a powerful practice for a child’s health and development, benefiting both mother and child. At Sakinah Care, we empower mothers with the education and support needed for successful breastfeeding, ensuring children get the best start in life. Breastfeeding provides essential nutrients, boosts immunity, and fosters a deep mother-child bond. Beyond immediate nutrition, it also helps prevent long-term issues like stunted growth.

The Critical Link Between Breastfeeding and Stunted Growth

The Stunting Crisis in
Pakistan

Stunted growth, a failure to reach full height and cognitive potential, affects 40% of children under five in Pakistan, primarily due to poor infant nutrition (UNICEF, 2023).

Breastfeeding: A Powerful Solution

Exclusive breastfeeding for six months prevents stunting by providing nutrients essential for brain development and combating malnutrition (WHO, 2021).

Perfect Nutrition for
Growth

Breast milk delivers the ideal balance of nutrients, supporting brain development and helping babies achieve their full physical and mental potential.

The Transformative Benefits of Breastfeeding

Infant Mortality and Stunting Reduction

Exclusive breastfeeding reduces infant mortality by 13% and lowers the risk of stunting by providing essential nutrients for early growth (WHO, 2021).

Cognitive and Physical Development

Breastfeeding promotes white matter development in the brain, laying a strong foundation for future learning, behavior, and health (National Academy of Sciences, 2020).

Maternal Health Benefits

Breastfeeding reduces breast and ovarian cancer risks while supporting emotional and physical recovery after birth (American Cancer Society).

Postnatal Healing and Recovery

It accelerates recovery by promoting uterine contractions, reducing bleeding, and aiding faster healing (Mayo Clinic).
