World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated every 1-7 August in commemoration of the 1990 Innocenti Declaration on the Protection, Promotion And Support Of Breastfeeding.

The theme for 2026 is Breastfeeding for a Sustainable Start in Life: Strengthen What Works.

Mums need support from family, workplaces, childcare facilities and healthcare providers.

As a peer support organisation, ABA plays an important role by providing mums and their families with timely and accurate information, as well as practical and emotional support to enable mums to achieve their breastfeeding goals.

How can you strengthen the supports that work for you and the mothers in your community?
