This year, WHO is working with UNICEF and partners to promote the importance of family-friendly policies to enable breastfeeding and help parents nurture and bond with their children in early life, when it matters most. This includes enacting paid maternity leave for a minimum of 18 weeks, and paid paternity leave to encourage shared responsibility of caring for their children on an equal basis. Mothers also need access to a parent friendly workplace to protect and support their ability to continue breastfeeding upon return to work by having access to breastfeeding breaks; a safe, private, and hygienic space for expressing and storing breastmilk; and affordable childcare.ā€ (WHO, 2019).

{{{ edit: y’all, I appreciate those of you that are sharing and being supportive. I did not, however, expect so many of you following this project to be so vile. I AM still navigating travel woes and as such comments are going off. Please DO continue to share and support. And if you are here - a reminder I am a q***r person. This movement supports all parents and birthing humans including / especially q***r, trans, and gender non-conforming parents. Anyone who can’t 100000% get behind that can unfollow me now. }}}
