New age Bollywood mommies are not shying away from getting real about motherhood, and the spunky Neha Dhupia is no exception. The actress recently posted a video on Instagram, in which she talked about granting new moms the freedom to feed.
The actress also added that one of the most challenging things for her was exclusively breastfeeding her daughter, Mehr, for six months, which made her realize the importance of a support system, and sometimes, even the lack of it!
The actress is not alone. Fellow Bollywood actress Sameera Reddy too recently shared her views about making breastfeeding easier for new moms in public.
Both Sameera and Neha are doing a great job in raising awareness about breastfeeding this World Breastfeeding Week. Especially because their message aligns so well with the theme of the week this year.
Every year, World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated from 1 to 7 August, to promote and support breastfeeding worldwide.
Breastfeeding promotes better health for both mothers and children. World Breastfeeding Week is a tribute to the Innocenti Declaration which was signed in August 1990 by international policymakers, WHO, UNICEF and other organisations to support breastfeeding.
