Celebrated in over 120 countries, World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) is the greatest outreach vehicle for the breastfeeding movement. It is officially celebrated August 1-7th. Like La Leche League International, the Celebrity Baby Blog believes that breastfeeding, with its many important physical and psychological advantages, is best for baby and mother and is the ideal way to initiate good parent-child relationships. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and World Health Organization (WHO) agree that breastmilk is the ideal food for the healthy growth and development of infants; World Breastfeeding Week seeks to raise awareness of its many benefits.
We present to you these beautiful images of our readers breastfeeding their children. We hope that if you are a breastfeeding mother, it will empower you, if you are someone who has not been exposed to breastfeeding that you will be inspired, and that if you are someone who doesn't understand breastfeeding that you will open your mind.
In our society, it is not permissable to stare but please, stare at these photos and feel honored that these women have invited you to witness a very special and intimate moment in their relationship with their children.
