The World Breastfeeding Trends Initiative (WBTi)

The World Breastfeeding Trends Initiative (WBTi) is a global program that assesses and promotes policies and practices to support breastfeeding. It gathers data from countries to evaluate how well they are doing in providing optimal conditions for breastfeeding mothers, such as healthcare support, workplace policies, and public awareness. WBTi aims to identify gaps, inform governments, and encourage action to improve breastfeeding rates, which benefits infants’ health and development. By tracking progress and sharing best practices, WBTi works toward creating environments that make it easier for mothers to breastfeed exclusively for the recommended six months.
