QUESTION (@WABAsecretariat will post)

SDGs as a framework for planetary health

The @GlobalGoalsUN are about people, the planet, prosperity and peace. #Breastfeeding is one of many sustainable solutions to planetary health. How can we make breastfeeding key to achieving sustainable development by 2030?

#WBW2020 

Societal support

All women/parents have the right to be supported by society to breastfeed optimally. They can benefit from many different kinds of support depending on their sociocultural context. What kinds of support can YOU provide a #breastfeeding woman/parent?

#WBW2020 

Breastfeeding counselling is essential 

Breastfeeding counselling is essential for increasing breastfeeding rates. The aim is to empower women/parents to breastfeed, while respecting their personal situations and wishes. Who should be involved in providing effective breastfeeding counselling?

#WBW2020

Ongoing support across the first 1000 days

Women/parents should have ongoing support across the first 1000 days. WABA's #WarmChain campaign places the mother-baby dyad at the core and links different actors to provide a continuum of care. How can you help create a warm chain of support for #breastfeeding?

#WBW2020

Building knowledge and skills at all levels

Breastfeeding is one of the best investments for saving infant lives and improving the health, social and economic development of individuals and nations. How can we, as advocates of breastfeeding, build knowledge and skills at all levels?

#WBW2020

Leaving no one behind

Some families may be more vulnerable and require additional #breastfeeding support. The #COVID19 pandemic leaves families with children in an extremely vulnerable position. How can we protect/support women/parents to breastfeed during #COVID19 and other emergencies?
