The World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) announces the slogan for World Breastfeeding Week 2008:

Mother Support:Going for the Gold: Everyone Wins

World Breastfeeding Week 2008 calls for greater support for mothers in achieving the gold standard of infant feeding: breastfeeding exclusively for six months, and providing appropriate complementary foods with continued breastfeeding for up to two years or beyond.

You will find the calendar and more information about 2008 World Breastfeeding Week at

Celebrating Breastfeeding

The international parents room sign is now available , providing an alternative to the use of a baby bottle image to designate baby friendly areas in public, and to mark breastfeeding friendly facilities.

Of course, breastfeeding can happen anytime, anywhere. The purpose of the symbol is not to segregate breastfeeding, but to help integrate it into society by better accommodating it in public.

The sign is suitable for use anywhere other international symbols are displayed: restrooms, airports, bus and train stations, shopping malls, rest areas, hospital waiting rooms, fitness centres, supermarkets, parks, amusement parks, hotel foyers and so on.
