In a mother’s arms, a child finds more than comfort; they find their first line of defence. Breastfeeding, often called a baby’s first vaccine, provides vital antibodies that protect against common childhood illnesses like diarrhoea and pneumonia. It also plays a key role in healthy development, boosting a baby’s immune system, brain growth and long-term health.
This simple, powerful act is both deeply personal and universally important. Each year, it’s honoured through World Breastfeeding Week. This year’s theme, “Prioritise Breastfeeding: Create Sustainable Support Systems”, calls on everyone to commit to creating lasting support structures that empower mothers and give every child the best possible start in life.
