World Breastfeeding Week 2020
Support breastfeeding for a healthier planet!
World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) is a global campaign to raise awareness and galvanise action on themes related to breastfeeding.
WBW is celebrated every 1-7 August in commemoration of the 1990 Innocenti Declaration. WBW started in 1992, with annual themes including healthcare systems, women and work, the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes, community support, ecology, economy, science, education and human rights. 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.
In collabearation with Kulkarni Hospital, Bhosari and Niragas Child Clinic, We arranged zoom meeting for new mothers to educate them about importance of breastfeeding. Encouraging them in initiating n sustaining breast feeding. More than 50 mothers attended session and it was grand success.
