National Breastfeeding Week 18th - 24th September 2023

National Breastfeeding Week will be taking place from 18th - 24th September. This year will continue and build on last year's theme, 'Everyone has a part to play in helping mums to breastfeed'. This will include daily themes and activities showing how families, community, health and education services all have a part to play in supporting mothers to have the feeding experience they hoped for.

A new social media toolkit will be available two weeks ahead of National Breastfeeding Week (no later than Monday 4th September), to support partners engage with and promote the week. We will be back in touch to let you know when this is ready.

Additionally, we have an extensive suite of free resources and campaign materials to help support any planned activity, to promote local activities and signpost your local population to our breastfeeding support tools, such as the Start for Life Breastfeeding Hub.
