World Breastfeeding Week
1st–7th August 2025 - supporting every parent, every step of the way
This World Breastfeeding Week, we’re committed to ensuring that every mother has access to the support, resources, and information she needs to breastfeed for as long as she chooses.
Together, we can create breastfeeding-friendly environments—at home, in healthcare settings, and at work—that empower women and celebrate their choices.
Why Breastfeeding Matters
- Protects babies from infections and disease
- Lowers the risk of breast and ovarian cancer in mothers
- Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first 6 months
- Breastfeeding in public is a protected legal right in the UK
- Going back to work? You don’t have to stop—support is available!
