Full transparency: I always feel a twinge of anxiety when world breastfeeding week rolls around.

The week is a yearly campaign put on by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) with a dedicated, breastfeeding-centered theme each year.

The celebration commemorates the 1990 Innocenti Declaration on the protection, promotion and support of breastfeeding. The Declaration outlined an international agenda which urged national sectors of society to integrate breastfeeding- supportive measures into their overall health and development policies, including specific breastfeeding targets.

The theme for 2022’s World Breastfeeding Week is “Set Up for Breastfeeding: Educate and Support”.

Though its intention is to promote further support and expand access to breastfeeding on a global level, the week can sometimes seem like a “breast is best” festival and lack nuance regarding individual experiences, especially as the celebration circulates on social media.

My hope is that in opening up the conversation, we can explore what this celebration has the potential for: an inclusive dialogue outlining what adequate breastfeeding education and support means in our society.

This isn’t a week to pretend like we’ve arrived in some existence where everyone has the ability (or desire) to exclusively breastfeed and we’re all showered in confetti.

It’s a week to be honest about the challenges, barriers and lack of support we face as parents who desire to breastfeed.

It’s a week to celebrate our unique journeys, and the big spectrum of what “successful” breastfeeding can look like.

It’s a week to honor those who have struggled, fought and found a way to feed their children in unique scenarios.

It’s a week to feel empathy alongside those who feel judgement in some of the rhetoric we’ll inevitably see.

In honesty, this week and the declaration itself feel somewhat estranged to me in that they outline goals I biologically cannot accomplish- but I also recognize that this week can expand support and education if we choose to approach it with compassion and honesty.

What topics and conversations would you like to see brought up during World Breastfeeding Week?

The first week of October is National Newborn Screening Week.

Newborn screening (NBS) enables the early detection and management of several congenital disorders, which if left untreated, may lead to mental retardation and/or death.

Early diagnosis and initiation of treatment, along with appropriate long-term care help ensure normal growth and development of the affected child.
