Why Breastfeeding?
Breastfeeding offers numerous benefits for both the baby and the mother. For babies, breast milk provides the ideal balance of nutrients essential for growth and development. It contains antibodies and other immunological factors that help protect babies from infections and diseases. Additionally, breast milk is easier for babies to digest compared to formula, reducing the risk of constipation and colic. Breastfeeding also promotes a strong bond between mother and baby through physical closeness and skin-to-skin contact. It lowers the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), asthma, allergies, obesity, and type 2 diabetes in later life. Moreover, breastfeeding is associated with higher IQ scores and better cognitive development. It also eliminates a myriad of infections caused by unclean utensils.
For mothers, breastfeeding offers significant health benefits. It reduces the risk of breast and ovarian cancers, type 2 diabetes, and postpartum depression. Breastfeeding also helps the uterus contract and return to its pre-pregnancy size more quickly, reducing postpartum bleeding. Additionally, it can help mothers lose pregnancy weight by burning extra calories. The convenience of breastfeeding cannot be overstated, as it is always available, at the right temperature, and requires no preparation or sterilization. Financially, it eliminates the need to buy formula, which can be expensive.
Beyond the individual benefits, breastfeeding also positively impacts the environment and community health. It reduces waste from formula packaging and bottles, contributing to a healthier planet. Furthermore, it leads to healthier populations, reducing healthcare costs and the burden on health services. Due to these significant benefits for both mother and child, breastfeeding is highly recommended by health organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). In the nurturing care components, breastfeeding contributes to adequate nutrition during the first six months as well as good health.
Let us educate mothers on the importance of exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months. Again, educating mothers to feed on a balanced diet to ensure balanced breast milk is also important.

Daud aur Chintan Mandal (Jogging and Thinking Club)
Sadbhav Mission
Friends,
Sadbhav Mission has been working for 35 years. Our thrust has been on developing
grassroots resistance against sectarianism. We publish magazine and books, distribute
fliers, organize workshops and lectures, carry marches. We also used to hold
weekly meetings in few places. During 1992-2004 we formed an Ekta Pachayat in
Indira Colony at Yamuna Pushta, New Delhi.
I feel there is need for a regular activity that can attract youth,
working age groups and senior citizens. Based on my own experience with
jogging, that I started at the age of 36 in 1984 and continue (occasionally)
even now, I think jogging could be a regular activity that can attract youths
as well as elderly people. I present my proposal for your kind consideration. Those
who feel convinced, may write to me. We can form a core group and hold a
meeting to initiate this activity.
Best regards

Jogging is an enjoyable practice. It
helps you keep healthy without going to a doctor. It also helps mental health by
keeping pressures off your head. Jogging with a thought free mind uplifts soul
and springs creative ideas.
Jog individually (not in a group).
That saves you from gossip and gives you opportunity to be one with nature, to
see clouds, trees, birds freely. Also, jog with a rhythm. Initially you may get
tired after jogging half a kilometer. But in ten days, you will be able to jog
for 4 km. Keep your mouth closed while jogging, breathe through the nose.
Jogging activates lungs, regulates blood circulation, and increases the
capacity of the body to fight disease. After jogging, you may drink lemon
shikanji (neeboo pani).
Once a week, jog in a group for half
an hour and talk for an hour informally (no gossip) on self and social
concerns. It will build friendship among the group. You will be able to sublime
prejudice in society and promote insaaniyat (humanism). It will serve a great
societal need to curb sectarian politics and corporate dominance.
For high school and college students
(boys and girls alike), anxious about admissions and career, it will be a refreshing
relief. Whatever course of study comes your way, take it up with involvement.
Focus on understanding. It will bring fascination.
For
retired people, this activity will give a purpose of life and save them
becoming a fodder to sectarian trap promoting prejudice through gossip and
playing cards. They can be a silent career of revolution that the country needs
to liberate shrines of sectarian control and economy of corporate dominance. We
may draw lessons from Sufi-Saint movement and the freedom movement. In Juhapura
(Ahmedadad) I saw a Senior Citizens Club. Members walk to the meeting point and
hold daily meetings and hold structured and openminded discussions on relevant
issues. They participated in several of our programs on communal harmony.
For
those in other ages, including the ones in jobs, jogging and thinking will be
satisfying. They will enhance their sensitivity and creativity. Those who have
academic temperament, affinity towards students and are driven by truth, nonviolence
and creativity, may aspire for teaching. Through teaching your subject with
interest, you can motivate students to shake off prejudice and strive for
freshness, freedom and equity.
