For the best eye health babies need just breast milk for the first 6 months. Breast milk contains Vitamin A.
Mother A is breastfeeding her six-week old baby. She is discussing breastfeeding with Mother B who has decided to stop breastfeeding and bottle-feed instead. Mother B tells Mother A lots of wrong information (see examples above). Mother A has to persuade her that her beliefs are mistaken.
Why is it that babies in some families are not breastfed for six months?
After checking that the facts are correct, encourage children to perform the Mother A and Mother B role-play at home or in the community. They can also teach other children the facts to use in the dialogues so that they can work out a dialogue too.
