World Breastfeeding Week

As we celebrate the 2008 Olympics (August 8-24) and the 2008 World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) August 1-7, the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) calls for increased support for mothers striving to achieve the gold standard of infant feeding: to breastfeed their babies exclusively for the first six months, and continue breastfeeding together with feeding other appropriate complementary foods, up to two years and beyond.
