Black Breastfeeding Week

This week is World Black Breastfeeding Week!

It’s the 9th year of Black Breastfeeding Week – this year the theme is ‘The Big Pause: Collective Rest for Collective Power’.

This week BBW honours the need for rest. At Breastfeeding Together we support black breastfeeding week, because we want to see an end to inequalities in infant and maternal health, and we believe that we need tailored support to help this happen.

This week is not about excluding anyone in any race from celebrating, it’s about raising each other up, bringing attention to the specific obstacles that black mums have to overcome to breastfeed and putting “Love On Top”
