It’s World Breastfeeding Week 2024 and the theme for this year is “Closing the gap: Breastfeeding support for all." Breastfeeding is a natural and beneficial practice, yet many mothers face challenges in getting the support they need. To truly close the gap, it's essential to provide accessible and comprehensive breastfeeding support for all. Ensuring that every mother has access to accurate information, professional guidance, and emotional support can significantly enhance breastfeeding success rates. Healthcare professionals, community organizations, and policymakers should collaborate to create supportive environments that empower mothers, regardless of their background or circumstances. By fostering a culture that prioritizes breastfeeding support, we can improve maternal and infant health outcomes, promote bonding, and reduce healthcare costs. Let's advocate for policies and programs that make breastfeeding support a universal right, ensuring every mother and baby has the best start in life. Together, we can close the gap and make breastfeeding support accessible to all. #registereddietitian #worldbreastfeedingweek #closingthecap #breastfeedingsupport #maternalhealth #publichealth

Breast milk provides all of the nutrients infants need for the first six months of life, significantly reducing the risks of sickness and death in infancy, contributing to healthy development well into early childhood and beyond. #Worldbreastfeedingweek2024# #closingthegap# #breastfeedingsupportforall# #EBFadvocate#

World Breastfeeding Week 2024 Day 6: Healthcare Systems: A Pillar of Support for Breastfeeding Mothers A supportive healthcare system is essential for breastfeeding success. To ensure mothers receive the best care: * Respectful Counseling : Healthcare providers should offer compassionate and informed guidance to help mothers navigate breastfeeding challenges. * Supportive Hospital Practices: Hospitals need to adopt practices that promote breastfeeding from birth, such as skin-to-skin contact and rooming-in. Today, we'll explore how healthcare systems can better support breastfeeding, share best practices, and hear from professionals committed to this vital cause. Join the conversation and learn how we can enhance support for breastfeeding mothers! #worldbreastfeedingweek2024 #lifafaresearchfoundation #healthcaresupport #breastfeedingcounseling #bestpractices
