“Invest in breastfeeding, invest in the future" 🌎💛
The first week of August marks World Breastfeeding Week, led by WHO, UNICEF & partners, celebrating breastfeeding as the foundation for lifelong health, development & equality.
This year highlights the support women & babies need—through skilled counselling, enforcing the breast-milk substitute code, and creating supportive spaces at home, in healthcare & at work.
Breastfeeding isn’t just good for babies—it’s a smart investment: it lowers healthcare costs, boosts cognitive development, strengthens economies & gives every child the healthy start they deserve. (WHO)
