🤱Prioritise Breastfeeding, Create Sustainable Support Systems🌍✨
On 7th August 2025, the Department of Paediatric Physiotherapy of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam college of Physiotherapy proudly organised a Breastfeeding Awareness Drive as part of World Breastfeeding Week 2025. This year’s theme reminds us that every mother deserves the right care, guidance, and community support for her breastfeeding journey.
The sessions included:
👶Gentle Oromotor Exercises – strengthening an infant’s lips, tongue, cheeks, and jaw to improve sucking, swallowing, and breathing coordination, especially for preterm babies.
Safe Swaddling Techniques – helping babies feel secure, reducing startle reflexes, calming them, and promoting better breastfeeding outcomes.
This awareness drive empowered 75 individuals, including 50 mothers and 25 caregivers, by building awareness, skills, and confidence to create a supportive environment for their little ones 🌸💫
