WORLD BREASTFEEDING WEEK ✨

🔵 World Breastfeeding Week takes place every year (on 1 August to 7 August) to raise awareness of the importance of breastfeeding to mother and baby health.

Breastfeeding is a natural act, but it is also a learned behaviour.
All mothers in the Region must be supported to initiate breastfeeding as soon as possible after birth, within the first hour after delivery, and should receive practical support to enable them to establish breastfeeding and manage common breastfeeding difficulties.

Breastfeeding is a powerful tool in the Region’s ongoing efforts to manage the double burden of malnutrition, and will help reduce women’s risk of ovarian and breast cancer.

It is a universal solution that gives everyone a fair start to life, and which lays the foundation for good health and survival of children and women.

🔵 Benefits of Breastfeeding for Infants and Mothers:

🔺Infants who are breastfed have reduced risks of:
🔹Asthma
🔹Obesity
🔹Type 1 diabetes
🔹Severe lower respiratory disease
🔹Acute otitis media
🔹Sudden infant death syndrome
🔹Gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea/vomiting)
🔹Necrotizing enterocolitis

🔺Breastfeeding can help lower a mother’s risk of:
🔹High blood pressure.
🔹Type 2 diabetes.
🔹Ovarian cancer.
🔹Breast cancer.
