It is when the baby is at greatest risk of developing complications and breathing difficulties. And, it is also when they are in danger of not getting what they need the most: the first breast milk. In India, only 41 percent mothers initiate early breastfeeding. Lack of information and substituting breast milk with baby food products are the leading reasons for low breastfeeding rates in the country.
