The World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) is the greatest outreach vehicle for the breastfeeding movement, being celebrated in over 120 countries. Officially it is celebrated from 1-7 August. (click for link)
The World Health Organization and UNICEF recommend you exclusively nurse your baby until age 6 months of age, and then nurse until age 2 years old or beyond.
SwedeGirl learned early how to properly nurture a baby, pehaps by tagging along with midwife mom to all those postpartum home visits in her early childhood! This series of pictures caught her at age 2 and 2 months holding her little 2 month old baby friend. Then spontanously doing what any good mother does with a baby!
She's a natural, huh?
