The World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) designates
August 1-7 each year as World Breastfeeding Week. In some
places, national or local breastfeeding "weeks" are celebrated
at other times such as during the month of October. The theme
for 2005 is "Breastfeeding and Family Foods: Loving and
Healthy." For more information, visit
