World Breastfeeding Week 2025
📅 1–7 August
Theme: "Enabling Breastfeeding – Making a Difference for Working Parents"

📊 Did you know?
✅ 67% of babies born in the past two years in Zimbabwe were breastfed within the first hour of life.
✅ Only 42% of children under six months are exclusively breastfed.

This week, we join the global community in promoting, protecting, and supporting breastfeeding. While breastfeeding is a personal act between mother and child, its success depends on collective support from families, communities, workplaces, and policy makers.

This year’s theme calls on us to build strong systems at home, at work, and in society that support breastfeeding mothers — and reduce the environmental and financial burden of artificial feeding.

🤝 Breastfeeding is a shared responsibility.
✔️ Employers can support with flexible working hours and breastfeeding-friendly spaces.
✔️ Communities can challenge harmful myths and offer encouragement.
✔️ Policy makers must strengthen maternity protections and improve paternity leave to support both parents in nurturing their babies.

💡 Why Breastfeeding Matters:
🟢 Boosts baby survival rates
🟢 Provides perfect nutrition for infants
🟢 Protects against infectious diseases
🟢 Lowers lifelong risks of obesity, asthma, and heart disease

Let’s work together to create a breastfeeding-friendly Zimbabwe.
