The theme for this year's World Breastfeeding Week is Breastfeeding for a Sustainable Start in Life: Strengthen what works. What worked for you? For me some things that worked were paid maternity leave and a supportive husband and family... Let me know what worked for you!

Many diverse actors play a role in the support of breastfeeding families. From doulas, midwives, and peer counselors to pediatricians, physicians, and family members, every connection matters.

Tag a colleague, mentor, or organization in the comments who has been a vital supporter! Let’s celebrate and uplift the individuals who show up every day to protect and promote infant nutrition. 💐

Happy World Milk Day! Thank you mamas for providing the perfect milk for your babies.

1 June is World Milk Day. Breastmilk is the most suitable food for babies. Breastmilk is the most preserved and healthy and comprises antibodies that prevent several diseases in children. It provides a healthy baby with the necessary energy and nutrition. Breastfeeding is the most efficient and significant method of ensuring a child’s well-being and continued survival. Breastfeeding results in fewer infections, increased intelligence, probable protection against overweight and diabetes. (World Health Organization.
