BREAST FEEDING 8 Ways to Celebrate Liquid Gold

The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life, followed by continued breastfeeding with appropriate complementary foods for up to 2 years and beyond.

Every Year From August 1 To August 7, People Around The Globe Celebrate World Breastfeeding Week (WBW).

Here Are Eight Ways To Celebrate WBW.

#1 - Find The Right Bra Fit

Since nearly 80 percent of women wear a bra that doesn't fit properly and bra size can change over time, WBW is a great time to measure (or remeasure) yourself. All you need to find the right size is a cloth tape measure or a piece of string and a ruler.

The right bra can make a world of difference by helping you maintain better posture, which reduces back and neck pain. Once you've found your correct bra size, encourage your friends to measure themselves too!

#2- Participate in Promoting Breastfeeding on social media

August 6-8 is popular as the weekend of World Breastfeeding Week, make an effort to remove the stigma around breastfeeding, raise awareness of the benefits of breast milk, and provide a place for moms to build a support community.

#3 - Share Your "Brelfies"

The rise of the "brelfie" (breastfeeding selfie) has been endorsed by none other than the World Health Organization. The United Nations called brelfies "a good way to break down any stigma about breastfeeding in public and spread the word about the importance of mother's milk." We agree.
