As a nutritionist and a mother of three, Beatrice Olubukola Ogunba is passionate about helping mothers feed their young children properly. “My firstborn just would not grow, and I thought he had health problems,” she remembers. “I spent so much money on tests he didn’t need until finally a pediatrician told me how to better breast-feed my boy. He then grew without any problems.” This experience triggered Ogunba’s zeal to train breast-feeding mothers and to teach them about appropriate complementary feeding practices .
