This year's WBW theme is Breastfeeding: a key to Sustainable Development. A message from UNICEF state that breastfeeding is not only the cornerstone of a child’s healthy development; it is also the foundation of a country’s development. In September 2015, the world's leaders committed to the Sustainable Development goals which we all have a part to play in achieving by 2030.
This year’s World Breastfeeding Week is all about how breastfeeding is a key element in getting us started on the SDGs.
