World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated every year August 1-7. The goal is to encourage and improve the health of babies around the world. Feelings about and relationships with breastfeeding vary. Every mom has a unique experience with (or without) it.  Regardless, it is definitely a topic that deserves more attention and awareness.
