Honey and Vegetable

Honey and Vegetable

These include honey, water and ghutti (a honey and vegetable mixture). Sometimes harmful prelates like laxatives are also used to clean the intestines of the newborn. Other practices like giving mixed feeding (water or other milk) in post to breast feeding is also very common. All of these interfere with “optimum breast feeding” and can lead to lactation failure. Since this involves using bottles to feed babies, the resulting contamination causes diarrhea.

Socioeconomically poor mothers usually over-dilute milk when feeding their babies, thus resulting in decreased caloric intake and malnutrition.
