What is World Breastfeeding Week?

World Breastfeeding Week is a yearly worldwide campaign organised by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA). Each year has it’s own theme and for 2022 the focus is on Stepping up for Breastfeeding’. The aim is to help increase the level and provision of breastfeeding support.

Breastfeeding is one of the best investments for saving lives and improving the health, social and economic development of individuals and nations. There is a growing need for breastfeeding to be seen as shared responsibility in order to protect, promote and support breastfeeding for sustainable development.

We’ll be talking about a different breastfeeding topic each day – from ways to increase your milk supply to tips for breastfeeding in public. We’ll be delving deep and having honest discussions with our special guests.
