A Sister in charge notes mothers today are better informed about baby feeding and care than years ago. Mothers now understand clock feeding, avoid unnecessary 2 am drinks, and even boiled water between feeds. Press articles and radio talks help, but Baby Health Centres drive the progress though old prejudices persist.
