Sefton Council is backing World Breastfeeding Week, which started on Sunday, 1 August!

WORLD Breastfeeding Week aims to raise awareness of the health and wellbeing outcomes of breastfeeding around the world and to support mothers to breastfeed. This year, the concept of building back better after the Covid19 Pandemic is being seen as an opportunity to create a 'warm chain’ of support for breastfeeding. This 'warm chain' includes:- health systems, workplaces, and communities at all levels of society and will help build an environment that enables and support for breastfeeding.

Cllr Ian Moncur, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing said:- "Covering pregnancy, labour and delivery, early contact, the postnatal period and then the 1st 24 months of the child’s life, the warm chain covers places the mother and baby at the its core through a 1,000 day timeline. Academicians, health workers, family members, GPs, midwives, nurses, nutritionists, obstetricians and gynaecologists and paediatricians and politicians, at local and national levels are all key links in that chain. Through that joined up approach we can support the health and welfare benefits that breastfeeding provides for babies, mothers, families and communities right around the world, as well as the nutrition, poverty reduction and food security advantages it brings.”

Information about the:- 'Warm Chain of Support for Breastfeeding' campaign and how to support it can be found at:- WABA.Org.My.

Cllr Moncur added:- "In March this year, Sefton was awarded full Baby Friendly Initiative Accreditation by the Baby Friendly Initiative. This means families can feel confident that care and support with infant feeding choices and relationship building is available locally. This includes a Specialist Infant Feeding Service, which provides families with complex feeding challenges can with expert support from infant feeding specialists and lactation consultants."

Referrals to the Specialist Infant Feeding Service in Sefton can be made by healthcare providers. The World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) is a global network that aims to protect, promote and support breastfeeding around the world. Along the way, it works with the World Health Organization and UNICEF to ensure its aid reaches the right people in the right communities.
