World Breastfeeding Week

World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated to encourage breastfeeding and improve the health of babies around the world. This week recognizes breastfeeding as the best way to provide infants with the nutrients they need, and it promotes exclusive breastfeeding from birth to six months of age. The week involves a series of events like workshops, seminars, and awareness campaigns focusing on the benefits of breastfeeding for both mothers and children, including its role in reducing disease risk and fostering growth and development. The campaign also addresses the need for societal support for breastfeeding mothers, including workplace policies that enable mothers to combine work with child-rearing more easily. It's a time to reaffirm the commitment to breastfeeding as a key component of sustainable development goals.
