World Breastfeeding Week
Golden drops - gift from a mom to the baby
From August 1st – 7th, 2018 we are recognizing, honouring and normalizing breastfeeding. We’re focusing on the importance of breastfeeding, and the importance of supporting moms who breastfeed.
We need encouragement from spouses, our families, our friends, and from strangers. We like to know that efforts to nurse are respected and appreciated.

The logo features the WBW-SDGs Campaign 'triad' of two adults and an infant, which reinforces the importance of working together to protect, promote and support breastfeeding. Branches, leaves and sprouts represent growth and development. The line extending from the triad and sprouting into leaves are the links between breastfeeding and nutrition, food security and poverty reduction. This reflects the #WBW2018 slogan Breastfeeding: Foundation of Life.
