About World Breastfeeding Week 2026

Every year from August 1 to 7, families, health workers, and communities around the world come together to celebrate World Breastfeeding Week. In 2026, the theme is “Prioritize Breastfeeding: Create Sustainable Support Systems” – a call to action to build lasting, equitable support for breastfeeding mothers everywhere. This week is more than a health campaign; it’s a global movement to invest in the future of children, families, and the planet.
