Every year, the first week of August is recognized as World Breastfeeding Week.
World breastfeeding week is the largest outreach vehicle for breastfeeding promotion worldwide; it is celebrated in over 120 different countries.
The aim of this week, which kicks off BREASTFEEDING AWARENESS MONTH, is to increase awareness regarding the significance of breastfeeding, and to celebrate the importance of breastfeeding for the health of women, infants, and children.
Complete Children’s Health celebrates a woman’s decision to breast feed her baby as long as mutually desired.
