Thank you, Senator, for hosting us this morning! It was a great discussion on breastfeeding and the need for supportive policies. Together with @BreastfeedingKE and @CAMFEBK, we’re committed to advocating for #LactationSupport in all spaces, including Parliament.

Thank you @BreastfeedingKE & @CAMFEBK Breastfeeding Campaign for paying a courtesy call at my office this morning. @WHO recommends all children be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of life. I will endeavour to champion this via policy, legislation and advocacy.

Parental leave allows the inclusion of fathers/partners in the support of #breastfeeding.

How can we ensure parental leave helps to maintain exclusive breastfeeding but allow fathers to participate?

#WBW2023

[WABA @WABAsecretariat]

When a mother returns to work, the provision of breastfeeding rooms, storage facilities, breastfeeding breaks, & access to childcare can help continued breastfeeding for as long as she chooses.

In your opinion, how do we create a BF-friendly workplace?

In September 2022, KAB & @CAMFEBK became implementing partners for a @LEAPdevelopment / @JPAL_Africa project to assess the effect of lactation rooms on mothers' productivity by conducting sensitisation talks in schools and encouraging them to become breastfeeding-friendly.
