World Breastfeeding Week

Please note, I’m all for breastfeeding and was blessed enough to do it myself. However do not take this as an a front against those that used formula (which I also did at one point) or those who weren’t blessed to be able to breast feed, but had the intention. This is strictly a promotion of something I believe in and believe does help the health of kids and is definitely the cheaper option to formula, AM I RIGHT?!

WBW is celebrated every 1-7 August in commemoration of the 1990 Innocenti Declaration. WBW started in 1992, with annual themes including healthcare systems, women and work, the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes, community support, ecology, economy, science, education and human rights. Since 2016, WBW is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In 2018, a World Health Assembly resolution endorsed WBW as an important breastfeeding promotion strategy.
