15th. August - the day    in 1945 that the Japanese Army had surrendered during WWII.  thats why  Lord Mountbatten considered August 15 to be a lucky day for him & England. But, many astrologers considered August 15-1947  to be inauspicious for India. thats why  the Constituent Assembly met to celebrate India’s independence at 11 p.m. on August 14, 1947 and the independent  India was born. thats why Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru told in his speech “...At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom.” Happy 69th.

When can I start feeding my baby? You can  start feeding your baby  as soon as she's born.  Having skin-to-skin contact immediately after the birth may help: You and your baby to bond with each other. Your baby's natural feeding reflexes to kick in. To stimulate your milk to flow. The first milk you'll feed your baby is colostrum, which is a concentrated, creamy-looking, high-protein, low-fat substance. This is all your baby needs in her first three days of her life. Colostrum is easily-digestible and full of disease-fighting antibodies (immunoglobulins) that strengthen your baby's immune system .  Your milk will come in about three days after you've given birth . This is when the levels of prolactin have adjusted and you produce breastmilk, rather than colostrum.
