Too Cute! See the Lagos State’s First Babies of 2016 | First Lady Bolanle Ambode advises New Mums to Breastfeed

Wow! What a way to start the new year.
Happy mothers gave birth to children in the early hours of 2016, ushering in the new year with wonderful bundles of joy.
Wife of the Lagos State Governor, Bolanle Ambode visited the
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. During her visit,
she 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.
“The birth of a new baby is no doubt a sign that God does not
forget or abandon his own, hence his magnanimity in making
people flourish by enabling and allowing new babies come into
the earth”

First Lady Ambode thereafter presented gifts to Amarachi
Bright, who delivered a baby girl at Epe General Hospital at
12.01 am, Adeleke Abosede that also delivered a baby girl at
exact 12:03am in Ibeju Lekki General Hospital and Okunowo
Oluwakemi at Lagos Island Maternity Hospital to a baby boy at
12:01am.
She congratulated the parents and prayed that the babies
would fulfill their destinies on earth just as she lauded the
effort of National Population Commission (NPC) for their
physical presence which added colour to the ceremony with
the instant registration and issuance of birth certificate to the
babies.
She urged the new mums to ensure they observe the
mandatory exclusive breastfeeding period of six months, a feat
she said if adhered to, will make their babies healthy and good
looking.
