breastfeeding awareness campaigns

Breastfeeding awareness campaigns aim to inform and support mothers, families, and communities about the benefits of breastfeeding for infant health, maternal well-being, and public health. These campaigns address common challenges, dispel myths, and promote policies that create conducive environments for breastfeeding. Through educational materials, events, and outreach, they encourage mothers to breastfeed exclusively for the first six months and continue alongside complementary foods up to two years or more. Ultimately, these initiatives seek to improve infant nutrition, reduce health risks, and foster informed choices about infant feeding practices.
