WHO recommendations:
• WHO recommends that mothers initiate
breastfeeding within one hour of birth.
• Babies should be placed in skin-to-skin contact
with their mothers immediately following birth
for at least an hour and mothers should be
encouraged to recognize when their babies are
ready to breastfeed, offering help if needed.
• Continue to breastfeed every 1-3hrs and on
demand (8-12/24hrs)

16. World Breastfeeding Week
It is celebrated every year from 1 to 7 August to encourage
breastfeeding and improve the health of babies around the world.
It commemorates the Innocenti Declaration signed in August 1990 by
government policymakers, WHO, UNICEF and other organizations to
protect, promote and support breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding is the best way to provide infants with the nutrients
they need.
WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding starting within one hour
after birth until a baby is 6 months old.
Nutritious complementary foods should then be added while
continuing to breastfeed for up to 2 years or beyond.
17. This year, WHO is
encouraging people to
“Support mums to breastfeed
anytime, anywhere,”
as all of society has a role to
play in making our
communities more
breastfeeding-friendly.
18. Statistics of breastfeeding in pakistan
“Pakistan has an
alarmingly low rate of
exclusive breastfeeding
with only 38 per cent of
children under six months
of age being fed by their
mothers,” said UNICEF
Representative Angela
Kearney.
20. • Pakistan was among the 118 countries who had voted in favor of
adopting International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk
Substitutes during the World Health Assembly in May 1981.
• However, the legislation came very late in Pakistan when
“The Protection of Breast-Feeding and Child
Nutrition Ordinance, 2002”
(XCIII Of 2002) was passed on 26th October 2002, and Pakistan
became one of the 42 countries with legislation to adopt most of the
articles of the Code.
• Currently, all provinces have adopted/passed provincial laws for
protection and promotion breastfeeding.
• However, implementation of these laws is still a dream.
