Breastfeeding: supporting work throughout the year.

摘要

National Breastfeeding Awareness Week (NBAW) takes place on 21 to 27 June, and many practitioners in all four countries of the UK will be organising events focusing on this year's theme 'Breastfeeding: every day is good for your baby'. Many practitioners see NBAW as a good way to raise awareness of the benefits of breastfeeding and draw press attention to local support groups for mothers, though on-going, year-round initiatives are needed to increase and sustain breastfeeding rates.
