This year National Breastfeeding Week will be taking place from 18th - 24th September. Continuing and building on last year's theme, 'Everyone has a part to play in helping mums to breastfeed'. This will include daily themes and activities showing how families, community and health and education services all have a part to play in supporting mothers to have the feeding experience they hoped for.
A new National Breastfeeding Week social media toolkit is now available to download form the Campaign Resource Centre, to support partners engage with and promote the week.
Additionally, there is an extensive suite of free resources and campaign materials to help support any planned activity, to promote local activities and signpost your local population to our breastfeeding support tools, such as the Start for Life Breastfeeding Hub. You can order these now from the Campaign Resource Centre so that they arrive before National Breastfeeding Week (please allow five working days from placing your order). These include:
- The 'Off to the best start breastfeeding' A4 leaflet
- Empty belly posters to allow partners to add local information on breastfeeding.
- As well as a range of social and digital assets and leaflets on the Start for Life Breastfeeding page.
