World Breastfeeding Week is August 1st through 7th where both individuals and organizations are focused on increasing awareness of the benefits of breast/chestfeeding to baby/parent dyads. There are many public health benefits when breast/chestfeeding is going well that extend beyond the new family into the community and beyond.
Lamaze International acknowledges and celebrates the important role that childbirth educators play in helping the families in their classes be prepared to feed their babies. Research indicates time and time again that partners and support people play a critical role in helping lactating parents to successfully feed their babies. When a nursing dyad has the support of the partner, they are more likely to overcome hurdles and succeed in meeting their breast/chestfeeding goals.
