Breastfeeding is produced and delivered without pollution, packaging or waste and is the sustainable solution that is good for the planet and its people. Prioritising and supporting breastfeeding will reduce the growing climate impact of artificial infant feed supply chains. However, breastfeeding can be challenging when parents are not fully supported. WBW2025 will outline the roles and connect the actors in the Warm Chain of Support for Breastfeeding to create a breastfeeding-friendly environment together at all levels; national, health, workplace and community. By connecting the actors working at different levels, a synergistic effort to support the parents will be in place. (World Breastfeeding Week Org)
