The Power of Motherhood

Motherhood and the benefits of nursing on children's health and development are celebrated all across the globe during Breastfeeding Nursing Week, which is celebrated every year from Aug 1st to Aug 7th.

Attachment, sustenance, and safety all come together in the act of breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is a natural way for mothers to nourish and nurture their young children, and it also helps to deepen the link between mother and child. The World Health Organisation suggests introducing supplementary meals after the first six months while continuing nursing. This should continue for at least another year.

There are other benefits to nursing than nourishment. During World Breastfeeding Week, we honour all the mothers who, despite hardships, keep breastfeeding their infants.

Let us remember the strength of mothers everywhere as we celebrate World Breastfeeding Week. Let's keep helping nursing moms out, since we know they're making a huge difference in the lives of their children and the world at large.

The strength of a woman ultimately comes from her willingness to do whatever it takes, including nursing, to care for her child. Let's honour the ladies who use this strength every day by celebrating World Breastfeeding Week.
