The wife of the Lagos State Governor, Mrs. Bolanle Ambode, has urged employers of labour to create more liberal working conditions for pregnant women and nursing mothers that will allow them to undertake proper breastfeeding of their babies.
She said by doing so, employers of labour would be contributing to the development of the society, noting that the way babies were raised determined the kind of adults in the society.
The governor’s wife, who described breastfeeding as a moral obligation of mothers to their babies, condemned the trend among some young mothers, who hide under “the so-called social exposure”, too shy away from breastfeeding their babies.
