The world is marking the end of this year’s breastfeeding week. The annual event is organised by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA), the World Health Organisation and UNICEF. The guidelines for infant feeding emphasise on initiation of breastfeeding within one hour of birth, exclusive breastfeeding until babies are six months old and continued breastfeeding along with nutritionally adequate and safe complementary foods until age two years old or beyond.
