Donate breast milk to newborn orphans or those who cannot receive it from their biological mothers. Perform all routine medical visits and prenatal follow up, and persuade other mothers to do the same.

Promote breast-feeding practice among biological mothers, during at least 6 months and preferably up to 2 years. Persuade mothers to take their babies to a clinic monthly, especially during their first year of life, and every time the child experiences diarrhea, tiredness, cough or fever. Claim
