Recurring severe haze in Southeast Asia highlights the critical role of Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies (IYCF-E).

Breastmilk acts as a self-sustaining, zero-logistics shield during environmental crises—protecting infant immunity without reliance on fragile supply chains or clean water infrastructure.

Beyond immediate indoor protection, families can drive systemic change by supporting independent, zero-deforestation standards to stop transboundary haze at its source.

Você sabe o que é a IBFAN e por que sua atuação é tão importante para a proteção da amamentação?

A International Baby Food Action Network (IBFAN) é uma rede internacional criada em 1979, a partir da mobilização de organizações e ativistas comprometidos com a saúde infantil e com a proteção da alimentação de lactentes e crianças pequenas.

No Brasil, a IBFAN Brasil tem papel importante na defesa e no monitoramento do cumprimento da NBCAL – Norma Brasileira de Comercialização de Alimentos para Lactentes e Crianças de Primeira Infância, Bicos, Chupetas e Mamadeiras, contribuindo para identificar práticas de promoção comercial inadequadas e fortalecer a proteção das famílias.

Essa atuação também envolve um princípio fundamental: profissionais e serviços de saúde devem estar protegidos de conflitos de interesse. Brindes, patrocínios, financiamento de eventos, ações promocionais e outras estratégias comerciais podem interferir na independência das decisões e orientações em saúde.

Proteger a amamentação não significa responsabilizar individualmente as mulheres por amamentar. Significa construir ambientes em que famílias possam tomar decisões informadas, livres de pressão comercial e apoiadas por políticas públicas e profissionais orientados pelas melhores evidências científicas.

Amamentação é um direito. Protegê-la é uma responsabilidade coletiva.

It’s #worldbreastfeedingweek and while everyone may have their own path to parenthood we can all agree that breastfeeding is more than a simple act. Breastmilk production requires the body and hormones to work together in just the right combination.

Whether providing breast milk for your own child or for others we hope this video gives you a little more insight on how the body produces such a precious source of nutrients.

🤱 Breastfeeding for a sustainable start in life — and a lifetime of sight.

This #WorldBreastfeedingWeek, we're highlighting the important role of breastfeeding in protecting a premature baby's eyes.

For babies born too early, the first weeks of life are a critical window, not just for survival, but for eye health. Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a condition involving the abnormal development of blood vessels in a baby's retina that can cause permanent blindness if not caught and treated in time 👁️

Breastmilk is one of the most powerful tools we have to reduce that risk, along with high quality neonatal care.

This year's World Breastfeeding Week asks us to strengthen what works. For newborn eye development, breastfeeding works, quality neonatal care works, and timely screening works.

💾 Save this and share it with a parent, midwife, or neonatal nurse.

Breastfeeding is more than nourishment for a baby.

It can also support a mother’s long-term health.

Evidence shows that breastfeeding is associated with a lower risk of breast and ovarian cancer in mothers.

Supporting breastfeeding means supporting healthier futures for both mothers and children.

This #worldbreastfeedingweek let’s continue sharing accurate, evidence-based information that empowers families to make informed decisions. 💚
