World Breastfeeding Week – August 1–7

World Breastfeeding Week – August 1–7

World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated every year to promote the health of mothers and children, and to encourage breastfeeding as the best start to a healthy life.

Breastfeeding provides optimal nutrition and strengthens a baby’s immunity—yet less than half of infants under 6 months are exclusively breastfed.

Since 2018, this week has served as a platform to support mothers, create supportive workplaces and communities, protect their rights through policies and legislation, and raise awareness about the benefits and strategies of breastfeeding.
