I can't not acknowledge that #WorldBreastfeedingWeek2025 weighs heavily on the hearts of career #PublicHealth and #ChildHealth professionals. What is happening in Gaza is familiar to us. We know that myths and misinformation about breastfeeding and infant care are especially dangerous for victims of wars and disasters.

IBCLC Laura Spitzfaden writes about the challenges faced by breastfeeding parents in Gaza, and the work of the Gaza Infant Nutrition Alliance (GINA).

Last week, several breastfeeding, lactation, and human milk experts did an “Ask Me Anything” session on Reddit ahead of #WorldBreastfeedingWeek2025. Here are the top 3 most upvoted questions we got. 👇

Without peeking at the thread, how would YOU answer them?

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱: 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗕𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗹𝗹

Breastfeeding is a natural, life-saving act that nurtures both mother and baby. Yet many face challenges like misinformation, cultural barriers, and lack of support. This year’s theme, “Prioritise Breastfeeding: Create Sustainable Support Systems,” calls on all of us—governments, workplaces, families, and communities—to build lasting environments that help mothers feed with confidence.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁:
- Provides perfect nutrition tailored to baby’s needs
- Boosts baby’s brain development & immunity
- Protects mothers’ health—reducing risks of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease
- Strengthens emotional bonds between mother and child
- Needs support: from proper maternity leave to clean lactation spaces at work

Let’s break myths and stand by every breastfeeding mother. A little support goes a long way in building healthier futures.
