World Breastfeeding Week 2009
• Arrange for safe places for mothers to breastfeed and privacy where it is culturally required
• Integrate basic frontline protection and prioritise support for breastfeeding to save infants
• Be sympathetic and listen to the needs of women and communities because they often know how best to create supportive environments for their families and themselves
• Encourage to form mother support groups
• Be vigilant to plans or reports of infant formula donations
• Reinforce optimal feeding practices wherever and whatever the emergency
Supporting breastfeeding during ordinary times will strengthen mothers’ capacity to cope during emergencies and breastfeed their babies. World Breastfeeding Week brings into focus the importance of breastfeeding for mothers and children and address the need for a timely and appropriate humanitarian response during an emergency to safeguard and nourish young lives.
