Nigeria - the Important Role of Mothers in Treating Malnutrition in Children

press release

Sa'adi, a 30-year-old farmer, is the mother of four-month-old Abubakar Husseini. Following the birth of her son, she had to take care of her three other children and was not producing enough milk to breastfeed the newborn. "I was so worried to see that my baby was not growing as he should," she said.

Abubakar Husseini was born in Munduva, in Southern Mubi. His mother, Sa'adi was advised by her family to take him to the stabilization center because he was looking too skinny. "I strongly encourage other mothers to come here as soon as possible" she said, "I am so happy to see him getting better, he is my blessing".
