#### Paras Health Udaipur Hosts Awareness Talk to Boost Breastfeeding Awareness
Almost 100 Women Attend Health Session Highlighting Maternal and Child Health Needs
Udaipur, Paras Health Udaipur organized a comprehensive health talk on Tuesday to raise awareness about the significance of breastfeeding and promote maternal and child health in the community.
The session was led by Dr. Akanksha Tripathi, who addressed a gathering of over 70 women, emphasizing the numerous health benefits of breastfeeding for both infants and mothers. The talk focused on dispelling common myths, encouraging exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, and discussing practical solutions to challenges faced by new mothers.
Recent data from the National Family Health Survey indicates that exclusive breastfeeding rates in India have improved, rising from 54.9% in 2015–16 (NFHS-4) to 63.7% in 2019–21 (NFHS-5). This underscores the importance of continued awareness campaigns and community support initiatives.
“Breastfeeding is one of the most effective public health measures for both infants and mothers. For babies, it provides essential nutrients, strengthens the immune system, and reduces the risk of infections, allergies, and chronic diseases later in life. For mothers, breastfeeding helps the body recover after childbirth, lowers the risk of certain cancers, and supports emotional well-being. Despite these benefits, many mothers face challenges such as lack of information, social myths, and limited support. Our aim is to ensure that every mother receives accurate guidance, practical help, and encouragement to breastfeed confidently. By combining education, healthcare access, and community support, we can help mothers make informed choices that have a lasting impact on the health of their children and themselves,” said Dr. Akanksha Tripathi.
The event also served as a platform for community interaction and peer learning, with many women sharing their experiences, asking questions, and seeking advice directly from the medical team. Informational leaflets and take-home materials were distributed to reinforce key messages from the session.
This initiative is part of Paras Health’s broader commitment to women’s health and well-being, especially in underserved areas where access to reliable health information remains limited. By focusing on awareness and education, the event succeeded in creating a meaningful impact.
