Breastfeeding for a Sustainable Start in Life: Strengthen What Works
Officially represented by the Composite Icon Symbol.
A focused global campaign advocating for stronger policies, laws, and community support to enable breastfeeding in workplaces, public spaces, and during emergencies.
The 2026 theme shifts the emphasis from simply identifying effective breastfeeding interventions to strengthening and scaling the approaches that are already known to work. The campaign highlights the need for sustained investment in health systems, communities, workplaces, policies and families so that mothers receive consistent support throughout the breastfeeding journey.
