Breastfeeding Myth vs Fact

Myth: Breastfeeding comes naturally to every mother.

Fact: While breastfeeding is natural, many mothers need guidance, patience and encouragement to breastfeed successfully.

With the right support, mothers are more likely to achieve their breastfeeding goals. A sustainable start in life means strengthening the support that enables mothers to breastfeed successfully – from healthcare services and workplaces to families and communities.

Together, we can help every child get the healthiest possible start in life.

Happy World Breastfeeding Week!

Supporting Mothers Makes a Difference

Breastfeeding thrives when mothers are supported.

Healthcare professionals, families, employers and communities all have a role to play by:

• Providing accurate information.
• Encouraging breastfeeding-friendly environments.
• Supporting mothers at home and in the workplace.
• Promoting respectful and compassionate care.

Healthcare professionals play an essential role in helping mothers make informed feeding choices. Providing evidence-based information, practical guidance and ongoing encouragement can help mothers overcome challenges and continue breastfeeding with confidence.

World Breastfeeding Week is observed annually during the first week of August.

This year's theme "Breastfeeding for a Sustainable Start in Life: Strengthen What Works" reminds us that investing in breastfeeding is an investment in healthier children, families and communities.
