World Breastfeeding Week is August 1-7, 2007

Friday July 27, 2007
World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated around the world to raise awareness about the benefits of breastfeeding and to raise funds for breastfeeding support. This year's theme, "The Power of One," doesn't seem very relevant to mothers of multiples who are feeding two or more babies, but it actually refers to the powerful benefits of nursing in the first hour after birth, the first pumping of breastmilk for a baby in the NICU, or the potential for saving one million babies. Breastfeeding twins or more may present some extra challenges for mothers, but it is absolutely achievable.
