We are excited to announce that boobingit will be running a series of Live Streams for World Breastfeeding Week 2023 (1-7 August).
Over the course of the week our founder Ruth will be speaking with various special guests about breastfeeding topics that matter most to you. Our World Breastfeeding Week Lives are in association with Pippeta – who will be giving you all the chance to win their award-winning wearable hands-free breast pump!
World Breastfeeding Week is a yearly worldwide campaign organised by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA). Each year has its own theme and for 2023 it is ‘ Enabling Breastfeeding’.
The focus of this year’s campaign will be on breastfeeding and returning to work/employment – the challenges that parents face and what more can be done to support and enable people to continue breastfeeding whilst going back to work.
To mark World Breastfeeding Week we’ll be hosting interviews with top guests over the course of the week on our Instagram account here. We’ll be talking about a different breastfeeding topic each day – from breastfeeding a baby with relux/allergies to tips for breastfeeding in public. We’ll be delving deep and having honest discussions with our special guests.
Boobingit’s Live Streams for World Breastfeeding Week are proudly sponsored by the award-winning breastfeeding brand Pippeta. Their range of breastfeeding accessories includes an award-winning wearable breast pump and their new silver nip cups which help soothe and heal sore nips when breastfeeding. Tune in every day for a chance to win a breast pump courtesy of Pippeta!
Join boobingit founder Ruth from Tuesday 1st August to Monday 7 August for Live Streams on Instagram.
