World Breastfeeding Week is held every year in the first week of August, supported by WHO, UNICEF and many Ministries of Health and civil society partners. The theme for 2026 is Breastfeeding for a sustainable start in life: Strengthen what works - a reminder that when communities support breastfeeding, families and future generations benefit.
Breastfeeding is a sustainable first food that supports infant nutrition, public health, family budgets, food security, emergency resilience and environmental sustainability. However, breastfeeding can be challenging when women are not fully supported.
