Oluremi Tinubu Urges Mothers to Prioritise Breastfeeding for Child Health

She also encouraged breastfeeding mothers to eat nutritious meals and maintain healthy lifestyles, noting that maternal nutrition benefits both mother and child. Families were urged to support mothers as they give babies the best possible start in life.
