Every year the first week of August is celebrated as the World breastfeeding week in more than 170 countries, including Uzbekistan. The aim of this is to inform the general public about the importance of mother's milk, which is a priceless miracle, and to promote breastfeeding. This year's celebration was celebrated under the motto "Breastfeeding - the basis of life". Our interview with a neonatologist of the 2^nd birth complex of Andijan city medical association Mahpirathon Akhmedova was about the work being carried out in this direction.

- Mahpiratkhan opa, how breastfeeding is important for the newborn child and the mother?

 - First of all, I wish every woman happiness of being a mother who has married in a dream of happines. Because the happiness of the family can be perfect only with children. A woman who embraces the baby for the first time feels happy with it and as if she was born again.

 Breastfeeding is a guarantee of the healthy beginning of every child's life. This practice plays an important role not only in the lives of babies, but also in mothers' normal health and wellbeing.

Milk is a wonderful miracle. The milk produced by the mother has all the nutrients needed for the baby's growth and development. Breastfeeding of the baby begins with milk from the milk. We also say that this is a "gold vaccine". The more udder is fed in the first three days of the baby, the more immune it will be. Because the mother's milk is rich in immunoglobulin, gammo-globulin, mineral substances and vitamins.

 Breastfeeding has proven to be a cognitive and medical advantage for both breastfeeding mothers. This process plays an important role in the lives of children, especially in the first six months, in the prevention of diarrhea and pneumonia, which is the main cause of infant mortality worldwide.

 When the baby dies, she lies in her mother's arms. The point is, first, that it reduces the risk of postpartum bleeding. Second, breastfeeding speeds up the mother's breast milk, because the baby's emotions increase in her mother's sense of affection. Thirdly, it reduces the risk of cancer that may arise in a woman's body. Removing the baby out of the baby's room does not make it easier for him or her to have a baby. Breastfeeding children are kind to parents who are artificial children.

 Breastfeeding reduces infant mortality and helps to keep them healthy when they are large. Mother's milk is the first vaccine for the baby. It causes the blood plasma proteins in the body of a child. Breast milk is the basis of good feeding of a baby.

 - How many breastfeeding babies are best recommended for the baby?

 - You know, I should not limit it. She should suckle her baby for a long time. However, I can tell the age limit. It is designated for 2 children and 3 years for boys. Even in the Holy Quran it waswritten about it. The more the baby is fed with breastfeeding the healthier they will be.

 The baby is given additional meals six months later, but the main nutrient should still be breast milk. It's a natural instinct that it is difficult to separate the baby from breast milk. During my lifetime, I have seen how immune and immature young men have been breastfed for a long time. Indeed, if there were any great alumni of our land, all were fed only breast milk. Previously, artificial feeding was not half-finished.

 - How much does artificial feed supplement mother's milk?

 - Unfortunately, no modern technology is able to produce nutrients that can replace the mother's milk by 100 percent. Here, I want to talk about a painful situation that afflicts me. Sometimes we see artificial feeds. If the baby needs to give artificial feed, the doctors themselves say it. Why is it that the baby is not breastfed, why the child is not grown up? Determining the cause, and giving it to artificial feeding is not recommended. However, there are doctors who advise artificial nourishment in advertising, as "the baby is not feeding, and the mother does not have milk."

 If the mother has less milk, there are ways to reproduce it. When we support the young mother in all respects and try to increase her breast milk, we do not need any other food. Of course, except for breastfeeding. At times, it is recommended to use artificial feeds that are relatively close to mother's milk. We should not give artificial food to children as much as possible.

 - What is breastfeeding in our region today?

 - 13 maternity complexes in our region have a special breastfeeding certificate. Our 2 maternity complex has been able to double this type of certificate. Propagation of breastfeeding is a major propagandistic activity in maternity hospitals and mahallas. Roundtables, meetings, booklets, manuals are being distributed. Broadcasting on TV and radio, as well as media coverage. Today, these promotional activities have been successful, and the breastfeeding rate is 88%. However, it would be wrong to say that this figure will reach 100 percent. Because there are cases where breastfeeding is unavoidable, and I think that we should achieve 98% of complications at birth complications.

 Sometimes, infants with low birth weight may be born. Even these babies need only breastfeeding as much as possible. To do that, we need to work hard. We have to start propagation not only with mothers, pregnant women, but also girls who are about to get married. We need to help doctors in this regard. If we say that our children, our family, and our society are healthy, we have to work together. Only then can we achieve the desired result.

 - Thank you for your interview!
