What People Say About Us
-
Well Being Africa has been a great help to many moms says mom G who shows example by making out time to breastfeed her baby at work. We support moms to do exclusive breastfeeding, and we also support them to do appropriate complementary feeding with continued breastfeeding when the baby is 6 months. The moms we see confirm that WBA has been a great help to them and their babies.
Mom G, Melusi, Pretoria
Breastfeeding time at work -
I started my breastfeeding journey by joining groups, reading books, and going to classes to acquire breastfeeding knowledge. The day my beautiful little girl was born all the information I had acquired was gone, and I found myself struggling to breastfeed. I was afraid my baby was not getting enough milk, so I wanted to quit and started formula feeding or at least mix feed. My husband was very supportive, he told me no, we are not getting any formula, you had wanted to breastfeed so now you have to do it. My dietitian assured me that I have sufficient knowledge of breastfeeding and that all my baby needs was my breast milk. I was encouraged. Though the first week was a challenge, I ended up breastfeeding my baby exclusively for 6 months. I have the privilege of being able to take my baby with me to work. I am still breastfeeding my little girl who is now one year and two months.

Read the success story of a first time mom in Sunnyside, Pretoria. “The exclusive breastfeeding was a wonderful experience, one of the success stories and in fact, the most important is that my baby never fell ill. I’m encouraging mummies to give exclusive breastfeeding and testify later. Thanks once again Well Being Africa”
