The theme for Breastfeeding Awareness Week this year is ‘closing the gap’. This theme will explore the different mothers from all over the world who breastfeed, and showcase how people who surround the mothers, such as family, friends and healthcare workers, can provide support. https://www.who.int/campaigns/world-breastfeeding-week/2024
Some of the aims of Breastfeeding Awareness Week are to allow adequate time for women to provide breast milk whilst at work, to allow enough time off for maternity leave all over the world, and to invest in breastfeeding support schemes. https://www.breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk/
