Today through August 7th is World Breastfeeding Week! This week became official in 1992, with the intention of increasing public awareness and support for breastfeeding. This year, the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action has created a campaign called "Closing the Gap", which aims to increase access to breastfeeding support and reduce inequalities that exist in our society. A few key messages include: 1) Support for women to breastfeed anytime, anywhere, so that it is normalized 2) Effective maternity entitlements that do not force women to choose between their families and their work 3) Trained health professionals who can provide helpful, respectful breastfeeding support 4) An end to exploitative baby-milk promotions You can read more about the importance of this campaign here: worldbreastfeedingweek.org Sources: WHO, World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action #WorldBreastfeedingWeek #NormalizeBreastfeeding
