KEETMANSHOOP – Medical doctor Herve Sabwa has urged mothers to seek accurate information about breastfeeding, saying misconceptions and certain medical and social challenges often discourage women from breastfeeding their babies.

Sabwa made these remarks during a brief handover ceremony of donations to breastfeeding mothers at the Keetmanshoop District Hospital on Thursday as part of the commemoration of World Breastfeeding Week.

He explained that while some mothers choose not to breastfeed, their decisions are often influenced by factors such as previous breast infections, lack of information, mental health challenges, and inadequate support systems.
