World Breastfeeding Week

From Babies and more, and in personal name, we always strongly recommend the Breastfeeding.

Particularly I am a faithful practitioner of treating, since I believe both in their nutritional benefits and in the benefit of breastfeeding to create an early attachment bond between mother and baby.

Every year during this week, between August 1 and 7, are the days stipulated by UNICEF and other partners, including WHO and the World Alliance for Breastfeeding, to celebrate the World Breastfeeding Week in more than 120 countries.

I am not going to list here one by one the amount of advantages of feeding a baby with breast milk, you can find them in a lot of articles published in the breastfeeding section of our blog, but just highlight what VelSid told us few days ago, babies in third world countries who are breastfed triple their chances of survival.

But it is not only recommended for babies in developing countries, but also for all babies in the world, especially if they are breastfed during the first hour of life, central theme this year of the celebration of World Breastfeeding Week Maternal

Early initiation and prolonged breastfeeding are two of the keys to this life-saving practice and that we all have to contribute to fostering.
