The post ended with the same message written in Portuguese.
World Breastfeeding Week, which is the first week of August, just finished, according to the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action.
National Breastfeeding Month was created by the United States Breastfeeding Committee in 2011 “in furtherance of USBC’s role to advance breastfeeding on our Nation’s agenda through collaboration, leadership, and advocacy, so that all U.S. families will have the opportunity to breastfeed.”
