What can we do to close the gap to achieve breastfeeding for everyone?

This World Breastfeeding Week, let’s appreciate breastfeeding mums and ensure they get the support they need.

Breastfeeding support comes in many forms – from staff welcoming breastfeeding in your local café to helpful advice from a health worker or maternity protections from your government.

These all help protect the health and rights of women and babies

Women everywhere have the right to respectful breastfeeding counselling from trained health care providers, as well as laws and policies like maternity leave and provisions like paid time off when you go back to work

We can all help ensure women feel able to breastfeed anytime, anywhere – and work to improve the position and condition of women at home, at work and in public life.
