World Breastfeeding Week is August 1st-7th and I am excited to be a part of the The Big Latch On this year! World Breastfeeding Week celebrates the signing of the Innocenti Declaration, produced and adopted in 1990 by participants at the WHO/UNICEF meeting on "Breastfeeding in the 1990s: A Global Initiative on the Protection, Promotion and Support of Breastfeeding." The document lists the benefits of breastfeeding, plus global and governmental goals. The Big Latch On is just one of the ways that women can help to raise breastfeeding awareness in their communities. Check out http://www.biglatchon.org/ for more info.
