Mr Thomas Ofori-Donkor, Atwima-Nwabiagya District Chief Executive, has advised parents especially nursing mothers to breast feed their babies to ensure healthy growth.
He explained that breast milk was a natural nutritious food that helped babies to grow healthy both physically and mentally.
The DCE was speaking at the celebration of the World Breast feeding Week at Amodum-Adankwame in the Atwima-Nwabiagya District on Monday.
The programme designed to create awareness and sensitise mothers on the need to breastfeed their babies was on the theme: "Breastfeeding, The First Hour, Saves One Million Babies".
Mr Ofori-Donkor deplored the practice where some parents replaced breast milk with solid foods at very tender age.
Madam Beatrice Appah, District Director of Health Services charged parents to attend hospitals regularly to be abreast with childbirth education.
