"Let's Make Breastfeeding and Work, Work! Nourishing Bonds for a Healthy Future!"
Happy World Breastfeeding Week 2023!
World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated every year from August 1st to 7th, with the aim of promoting and supporting breastfeeding worldwide. During this week awareness is raised about the importance of breastfeeding for infants' health and development, as well as for mothers' well-being.
Let's celebrate the incredible bond between mothers and babies with this year's theme, "Let's make breastfeeding and work, work!". This year's week-long campaign highlights the importance of supporting workplace-related breastfeeding practices, ensuring both moms and babies get the best start in life.
Breastfeeding offers amazing long-term health benefits for babies, such as a boosted immune system and reduced risk of childhood inflammatory bowel disease. It even helps in managing weight in the long run, promoting healthier growth and metabolism.
Breastfeeding is crucial for mothers, aiding postpartum recovery, fostering emotional bonding, and supporting hormonal balance. It promotes weight management, reduces the risk of cancer and chronic diseases, and offers a natural contraceptive effect. Breastfeeding is cost-effective, eco-friendly, and emotionally fulfilling, empowering mothers with the joy of nourishing their babies.
As we celebrate this special week, nutritionist Lovneet Batra joins communities, governments, and organizations to remind us of some fantastic foods that can enhance lactation. Such as fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds, and raw nuts which are natural allies in supporting milk supply, ensuring babies get all the nourishment they need.
Let's embrace the power of breastfeeding and work together to create breastfeeding-friendly environments in all workplaces. Cheers to all the amazing moms out there, nurturing and nourishing their little ones with love!!
