1 - 7 August is World Breastfeeding Week, a chance to offer advice and support to parents, carers and families about the benefits of breastfeeding.

World Breastfeeding Week aims to highlight the huge benefits that breastfeeding can bring to both the health and welfare of babies, as well as a wider push for maternal health, focusing on good nutrition, poverty reduction and food security.
