Breastfeeding is essential for newborn babies as it is their only essential meal for the first six months. Breastfeeding is a crucial way of providing young infants with the essential nutrients required for their initial growth and development. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends breast milk as the ideal food for infants. A mother’s milk is safe, clean and is packed with antibodies that protect the infant against many common illnesses to which they are most vulnerable.
Breastfeeding Week begins from August 1 to August 7 every year. The week commemorates the Innocenti Declaration signed in August 1990 by international government policymakers, WHO, UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund) and other organisations to protect, promote and support breastfeeding. For this year, the theme for breastfeeding week is: Protect Breastfeeding: A Shared Responsibility.
