Breastfeeding Support Group
WABA calls on Breastfeeding Support Groups to:
- Promote the development and implementation of breastfeeding policies
- Reach out to women before, during and after childbirth to promote and support breastfeeding
- Share positive breastfeeding experiences to help a mother recognise and address common breastfeeding difficulties
- Teach mothers practical skills for breastfeeding especially in vulnerable populations
- Work with other stakeholders along the 1000 days timeline to create a warm chain of support for breastfeeding
