1-7th August 2015 World Breastfeeding Week

Here is the  Theme for this year's World Breast feeding day 2015 campaign - Let's make it work!
Below is the WHO Breastfeeding week 2015 abstract, this is intended to improve the breast feeding level as well as the health of the babies around the world especially the LMICs. This campaign is not only targeted to the poorer countries but to the entire world  and the Health Ministries to encourage breast feeding within their countries. There are many campaigning products at the WHO website for Lawmakers, Trade unions, co-workers, employers and the target for this year.

World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated every year from 1 to 7 August in more than 170 countries to encourage breastfeeding and improve the health of babies around the world.
It commemorates the Innocenti Declaration signed in August 1990 by government policymakers, WHO, UNICEF and other organizations to protect, promote and support breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding is the best way to provide infants with the nutrients they need. WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding starting within one hour after birth until a baby is six months old. Nutritious complementary foods should then be added while continuing to breastfeed for up to two years or beyond.
