SUCCESS STORY #1
Our field staff while screening village Berdabalda, came across baby of Kasturi bai weighing 1.850 kg
This decrease of weight by 19%, is very detrimental to the life of the child. The baby was weak and
limp due to lack of feeding. Under the guidance of our pediatrician, our VHW treated the baby
The baby improved very well with weight of 2.450 kg on 28th day. Thus, the baby was saved
by simple technique of proper and adequate breast feeding.
