SIR— A number of breast-feeding mothers complain of not having breast milk. This should be no problem if the mother can access Moringa oleifera leaves and chew them or add them to her diet when mixed with boiled sauce and served.

The alternative, however, is to use Moringa leaf powder. This may be added to sauce, tea or juice at the time of serving or even juice.
The high concentrations of iron, protein, copper, various vitamins and essential amino acids present in Moringa leaves make Moringa an ideal nutritional supplement. Moringa leaves are a rich source of micronutrients.
They contain large amounts of: Vitamin A, shielding against diseases of the eyes, skin and heart; diarrhea and many other ailments; vitamin C, fighting a host of illness including colds and flu; calcium, building strong bones and teeth and preventing the bent spine common among older people; potassium, essential for the functioning of the brain and nerves; proteins, the basic building blocks of all our body cells.
Moringa makes a good substitute. That is why it is called a mother’s best friend.
