Breast milk is more than just nutrition; it is a lifeline. 

Recognised as an optimal source of nourishment for infants, breastfeeding is described by global health experts as one of the most powerful interventions to save lives, strengthen families, and promote healthy development. 

The Independent Midwives Association of Namibia's representative, Tekla Mbidi, has urged fellow midwives to advocate for and promote breastfeeding.
 
Mbidi made the call during the celebration of the International Day of the Midwife in Windhoek.
