World Breastfeeding Week

The theme for this year’s WBW in deference to the 2008 Olympics is “Mother Support : Going for the Gold”.

The objectives are:

  • To expand awareness of the need for and the value of providing support to a breastfeeding mother.
  • To disseminate updated information about support for breastfeeding mothers.
  • To create optimal conditions for the provision of mother support in all circles of support.

Materials have already been distributed from the IBFAN Africa Regional Office to national groups.

Please contact the office for further information or visit the WABA web-site www.worldbreastfeedingweek.org for updates.
