The webinar titled Building Resilience for Breastfeeding Practices addresses a critical aspect of public health and child nutrition. Breastfeeding is globally recognized as a fundamental component of child health and development. The World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life, with continued breastfeeding alongside appropriate complementary foods up to two years of age or beyond, as per the child’s needs. The benefits of breastfeeding are well-documented, providing essential nutrients, protection against diseases, and promoting mother-child bonding. Despite these advantages, there are challenges to sustaining optimal
breastfeeding practices, often influenced by social, cultural, economic, and health-related factors. The rationale for conducting this webinar stems from the need to address the existing challenges and promote a supportive environment for breastfeeding mothers. The event aims to provide evidence-based insights, best practices, and real-life examples of successful interventions that have strengthened breastfeeding practices in various communities. By disseminating this knowledge, the webinar intends to empower healthcare professionals, policymakers, lactation consultants, and community leaders with the tools and information necessary to create environments conducive to breastfeeding.
