WBW world breastfeeding week

First week in August is our week..we are as women the core of the life..not just the half of it.

Breastfeeding is the first and the strongest human bond in the life.

It's not an inheritance issue but it is all about practice and gaining skills. Feel free to ask for help if you are a new mom, regardless your academic or social backgrounds.

As a public health specialist, increasing community awareness about Breastfeeding benefits for the mother and her baby is a fundamental aspect in our work to promote the (Health for all) concept.

This week is for:

raising awareness about breastfeeding support and knowledge available locally and globally.

help for communities to positively support breastfeeding in public places.

making breastfeeding as a normal part of day-to-day life at a local community level.
