Ugandan entrepreneur helping breastfeeding mums one cookie at a time

Breast feeding is the best recommended source of nutrients for babies to develop up to the age of two years. The World Health Organisation attributes 16 percent of global child deaths every year to inadequate breastfeeding. Among the challenges mothers face is short maternity leave spells while many others struggle with inadequate milk production. One lady in Uganda is working to change that by baking one breast milk stimulating cookie at a time.
