It’s World Breastfeeding Week - 1 to 7 August

World Breastfeeding Week celebrates the benefits of breastfeeding while recognising that every family's feeding journey is unique. It’s an opportunity to raise awareness, provide encouragement, and ensure parents have access to the support and information they need to make informed choices.

Whether breastfeeding, combination feeding, or using formula, every parent deserves compassionate, evidence-based support without judgement.

This week, let’s recognise the dedication of parents, celebrate the professionals who support them, and help create communities where every family feels informed, respected, and supported.
