BMSG(S) will celebrate World Breastfeeding Week (WBW 2008) with the theme “Going for Gold” to increase awareness of the need for and the value of providing support to a breastfeeding mother. Just like an Olympic athlete needs support to get the gold medal, a mother requires the same support to achieve the gold standard of infant feeding: the World Health Organization recommends mothers breastfeed their infants exclusively for six months, and provides appropriate complementary foods with continued breastfeeding for two years and beyond. Every mother can achieve the gold standard!
To build camaraderie amongst breastfeeding mothers, join us for a mass breastfeeding session where all nursing mothers are invited to breastfeed their children. We hope to gather as many mothers from all over Singapore in NVPC for an attempt to break our synchronized breastfeeding record of 171 mothers created last year.
There will be talks for mothers and fathers to listen to, games booth for children and shopping for all to indulge in.
