August is National Breastfeeding Month. World Breastfeeding Month is an annual celebration of breastfeeding to increase breastfeeding awareness and to improve the health of mothers and babies. This year’s theme is Enabling breastfeeding making a difference for working parents. Breastfeeding impacts the health of the family, the community and the planet. It is imperative to work together across sectors and levels to protect, promote and support any and all amounts of breastfeeding for the health of Coloradans.
This year’s focus is on breastfeeding and employment/ work. It will showcase the impact of paid leave, workplace support and emerging parenting norms on breastfeeding through the lens of parents themselves. Target audiences including governments, policymakers, workplaces, communities and parents will be engaged to play their critical roles in empowering families and sustaining breastfeeding-friendly environments in the post-pandemic work life.
