MJMR Celebrates World Breastfeeding Week!

Every year from August 1–7, the global community raises awareness about the vital role of breastfeeding in early childhood health and maternal well being.
In a recent MJMR featured study conducted in Selangor, exclusive breastfeeding rates among caesarean-delivered mothers were just 50.9%, with only 31.1% initiating within the first hour of birth. These figures reinforce the need for targeted support, education, and policy interventions to promote timely initiation, sustained breastfeeding, and maternal confidence.
A recent MJMR featured studies revealed:
