Lactivists Unite to Raise Breastfeeding Awareness
Each year breastfeeding advocates in over 120 countries celebrate World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) during the first week of August. WBW was started by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) in an effort to protect, promote and support breastfeeding on a global level. All around the world lactivists (lactation activists) will celebrate by engaging in letter writing campaigns, holding fundraisers and staging nurse-ins to raise awareness and support for breastfeeding. Find out what is being done in your community to promote breastfeeding and to support breastfeeding mothers by contacting the local La Leche League chapter.
This years theme for WBW is Code Watch: 25 Years of Protecting Breastfeeding.
