#Breastfeeding is recommended at least until a child turns 2. It continues to:

✅ provide important nutrients
✅ build a stronger immune system & protect against obesity.

Mums need access to breastfeeding support throughout their breastfeeding journey.

Today we're showing our appreciation for our peer supporter services who are doing their part in 'Closing the Gap' in breastfeeding support 💜

As you can see from some feedback we've received, they are a valuable part of many breastfeeding journeys!

Breastfeeding is a vital emergency response. In an emergency situation where clean water and electricity supply are limited, breastfeeding is the best choice in providing 'reasy-made' food for the infants. Breastfeeding saves lives!

We understand that some breastfeeding mothers look to herbal supplements for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, there's limited information to share on the safety of combination herbal products.

We have some links in our factsheet:
