Celebrating Breastfeeding Week: Why we need to do more
- Breastfeeding is every person’s first start in life, yet millions of South African mothers stop within weeks.
- A simple change in position or early expert support can make the difference between quitting and success.
- Myths, short maternity leave, and lack of workplace facilities are costing babies their best food.
- Supporting breastfeeding isn’t just good for health – it’s good for the economy and the planet.
