World Breastfeeding Week

World Breastfeeding Week, celebrated annually in August, aims to promote awareness about the benefits of breastfeeding for mothers, infants, and society. It highlights the importance of early nutrition, health, and bonding between mother and baby, while addressing challenges and supporting breastfeeding practices worldwide. The week encourages policies and initiatives that protect, promote, and support breastfeeding in communities, workplaces, and healthcare systems, ultimately contributing to improved child health, reduced disease risk, and maternal well-being. This global movement fosters education, research, and advocacy to create a supportive environment for breastfeeding as a vital public health priority.
