See WNTV’s Awareness on World Breastfeeding Week;
See World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) is a global campaign to raise awareness on matters related to breastfeeding. WBW is officially celebrated every 1st -7th August since 1992 till date. Since 2016, WBW is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In 2018, a World Health Assembly resolution endorsed WBW as an important breastfeeding promotion strategy.
The WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life, followed by continued breastfeeding with appropriate complementary foods for up to 2 years and beyond. WHO also recommends early and continuous skin-to-skin contact, rooming-in, and kangaroo mother care, which improve neonatal survival and morbidity.
Encourage all mothers to begin breastfeeding as soon as possible after birth, preferably within the first hour of delivery, and should receive practical assistance to enable them to initiate and establish breastfeeding as well as handle common breastfeeding issues.
Skillful breastfeeding counseling is critical to increasing breastfeeding rates. Improving access to expert breastfeeding counseling can help to increase the length of breastfeeding and encourage exclusive breastfeeding, which benefits newborns, families, and economies. Mothers require competent breastfeeding support more than ever during the CoVID-19 outbreak.
As a result of the epidemic, the majority of health personnel responses are responding to emergencies. Breastfeeding support services, including counseling and competent lactation assistance, are in short supply. Infection control methods, such as physical separation, make it difficult to maintain community counseling and mother-to-mother support programs. As a result, countries must employ novel solutions, such as e-counseling and support, to give expert breastfeeding assistance to mothers. Step up for Breastfeeding today!
