World Breastfeeding Week | 1–7 August

This year's theme, Breastfeeding for a Sustainable Start in Life: Strengthen What Works, reminds us that early recognition and appropriate support for breastfeeding challenges can make a meaningful difference for families.

Did you know? A 2025 systematic review including 12 studies and 8,538 infants found that 34% of infants experiencing breastfeeding problems had a tongue-tie.

At ASTOT 2026, international experts will explore the latest evidence on breastfeeding, tethered oral tissues and collaborative models of care. If you are not joining us at the symposium, you can now order the recordings online.
