The World Breastfeeding Movement
A global people’s movement of ONE MILLION PEOPLE for ONE ACTION - to support women to fulfill their right and their children’s right to breastfeeding.

Correct and appropriate breastfeeding

• Saves children’s lives
• Prevents killer diseases during childhood
• Improves IQ levels of children, as well as makes them more emotionally secure
  strengthens family bonds
• Protects children against high blood pressure, cardiac problems and Type II diabetes in adulthood
• Prevents obesity in childhood and adulthood
• Helps women’s body get back into shape after giving birth
• Reduces women’s chances of getting breast cancer

Unfortunately, not even half the women of the world can carry out adequate breastfeeding.

Most people think of breastfeeding as something that happens between the woman and her child: that this decision is in the personal domain. However, several factors affect women’s ability to breastfeed successfully: traditions, myths, status in the family and society, work load, confidence in her body and sexuality, economic needs, labour laws, domestic and workplace violence and harassment,availability of support services, advertising by commercial baby food manufacturers, and so on.

The World Breastfeeding Movement brings together people of all ages from all walks of life to generate the support women need to breastfeed successfully. Through participating in the Movement’s campaigns, petitions to local, national and international policy makers, discussions groups, evidence-based nformation sharing, and actions at every level, you can focus national and global attention on the several challenges to successful breastfeeding and help to resolve them.
