In space or earth, north, south, east, west,
For every child, breast-milk’s the best!
No formula of milk comes near
the natural human breast-milk dear.

Breast-feeding of each child is one
Most sacred duty of woman;
The smaller family-norm has made
This right of children, that shouldn’t fade.

Right from the first woman called Eve,
A better way, none can conceive;
If healthy must be human race,
Breast-feeding must maintain good pace!

All mothers must well know the art
Of breast-feeding, right from the start;
All new-born, infants need this food
To stay disease-free, through child-hood.

Breast-milk is ideal food and feed
That helps the baby grow indeed;
Breast-feeding is a practice prime,
That has well stood the test of time.

No child should be denied breast-milk;
No mother should this duty sulk;
The new-born must be nourished thus
By every mother, without fuss!
