Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>The Eswatini National Nutrition Council (ENNC) has distributed breastfeeding cushions to mothers at Hlathikhulu Government Hospital to promote comfort and support.<\/b><\/p>\n

The gifts, donated by partners such as the Tzu Chi Foundation and Lush Hair, were distributed by the team on Friday, August 22, 2025, as part of the World Breastfeeding Week 2025 celebrations and a nationwide effort to strengthen breastfeeding support systems, reinforcing the message that mothers are not alone on their breastfeeding journey.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s theme, \u201cPrioritize Breastfeeding Create Sustainable Support Systems,\u201d The visit followed similar activities earlier this month on August 7, 2025 at Mankayane Government Hospital, where mothers were honored in a heartwarming celebration.<\/p>\n

\u201cBreastfeeding is a powerful foundation for child survival, growth, and development,\u201d said Sniketiwe Zwane, Head of Programme at the ENNC. \u201cThrough these visits, we are showing mothers that the government and its partners stand firmly with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alongside cushion distribution, healthcare workers are receiving guidance on providing breastfeeding-friendly services, while mothers participate in educational sessions designed to equip them with the knowledge and confidence to continue breastfeeding.<\/p>\n

The ENNC expressed Its gratitude to hospital management and staff for ensuring the success of these celebrations.<\/p>\n
