When asked about this, Srividya said, "Most of the babies are struggling to get breast milk. Especially in newborns born daily at the Coimbatore Government Hospital, the babies are taken care of in an incubator as certain babies are underweight.
Babies who are so have difficulty in getting breast milk. When I came to know about this, I told my husband that I am going to breast milk due to his full cooperation.
Srividya said that she is doing her job well as not only her husband but also her mother and father gave her full support.
Moreover, there is no change in the beauty of women as they breastfeed their babies and donate breast milk, says Srividya. Breastfeeding will be secreted more to give milk like ‘akshaya pathram’.
Srividya said that in the recent past, there has been a slight increase in the number of people coming forward to donate breast milk due to the awareness among young women. He appealed to women to come forward to breastfeed and volunteers should also come in large numbers for such social work.
