World Breastfeeding Week 2025
📅 1–7 August
🎯 Theme: Prioritise Breastfeeding: Create Sustainable Support Systems

🤱 When communities come together to support breastfeeding mothers, the benefits last generations.

This World Breastfeeding Week, we celebrate the powerful role that families, healthcare professionals, and society play in creating lasting systems that protect, promote, and support breastfeeding. In hospital and clinic settings, providing a nurturing environment for breastfeeding is more than care — it's an investment in long-term public health.

👶 Why Breastfeeding Matters
Breastfeeding offers complete nutrition tailored for infants, strengthens their immune systems, and supports healthy growth and development — benefits that formula feeding simply cannot replicate. For mothers, breastfeeding aids in postpartum recovery and reduces the risk of chronic illnesses.

🏥 How Clinics Support Nutrition & Care
Clinics and hospitals champion children’s nutrition and maternal health by:
✅ Promoting breastfeeding from birth
✅ Offering antenatal education to expectant mothers
✅ Training healthcare staff to support lactation
✅ Providing space and support for new mothers to breastfeed confidently

Let’s work together to build communities that make breastfeeding easier, safer, and supported — because the health of future generations begins with the choices we support today.
