Latching onto Love:Unpacking the Amazing Benefits of Breastfeeding and Skin-To-Skin Bonding

Did you know that breastfeeding can reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) by 50%? (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2012) Or that skin-to-skin contact can stabilize a newborn's heart rate and breathing, helping them gain weight more quickly? (World Health Organization, 2017)
It's World Breastfeeding Week 2024 and we are excited to host a tele-education session to mark this year's commemoration themed: "Closing the Gap: Breastfeeding Support for All."
Tailored for all moms, including those who are breastfeeding and those who are unable to, this special session is celebrating breastfeeding moms in all their diversity and inspiring vital support from families, communities, and healthcare workers for the breastfeeding journey.
