WIFE of the Lagos State Governor, Mrs. Bolanle Ambode, yesterday advised nursing mothers to observe the mandatory exclusive breastfeeding period of six months to make their babies healthy and good looking.

Speaking at separate visits to Epe General Hospital, Ibeju Lekki General Hospital and Lagos Island Maternity Hospital, where she presented gifts to the first babies born in the early hours of the New Year, Mrs. Ambode said one of the greatest gifts of God to humanity is the birth of a new baby, just as she reminded that God does not forget or abandon his own.

Mrs Ambode thereafter presented gifts to Mrs Amarachi Bright, who delivered a baby girl at Epe General Hospital at 12.01 am, Mrs Adeleke Abosede that also delivered a baby girl at exact 12:03am in Ibeju Lekki General Hospital and Mrs Okunowo Oluwakemi at Lagos Island Maternity Hospital to a baby boy at 12:01am.
