Model Student, Model Mother

VHW Shailkumari says Rajkumari, of village Kumbhi, is a model student. She would pay great attention at the child and maternal health sessions the VHW conducted in her village. She would also ask a lot many questions. Whenever Shailkumari went on a home visit to her house she found there always were wheat or rice powder laddoos in stock.

She also found that Rajkumari followed her advise and gave her four children soon after birth. Rajkumari breastfed her baby, as soon as the midwife cut the cord and cleaned the infant. She has given them all the stipulated vaccines. She will tell you the whole list; she knows them by heart. She was also serious about the 100 IFA pills a pregnant woman is prescribed. "Yes I took them all on time. That's why I don't ever have any swellings or paleness, common among pregnant women."

Shailkumari evidently very happy to have Rajkumari as a ward.
