Abstract

Breastfeeding week is held in the first week of August every year. The event is organized and supported by World alliance for breastfeeding action (WABA), World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children`s Fund (UNICEF) and many ministries of health and civil society partners. It is celebrated in more than 120 countries worldwide. World breastfeeding week was first celebrated in 1992 by WABA and is now observed in over 120 countries by UNICEF, WHO and their partners including individuals, organizations, and governments. WABA itself was formed on 14 February 1991 with the goal to re-establish a global breastfeeding culture and provide support for breastfeeding everywhere.
