World Breastfeeding Week is always August 1 - 7. I never knew this until I became an Guide.
The 2011, World Breastfeeding Week's theme is: "Understanding the Past-Planning the Future". Twenty years ago, the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) launched its first World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) campaign, according to the World Breastfeeding Week website, now the group plans to look back to see what has happened and then look to the future to see how they can help more women and young children.
The World Breastfeeding Week organization focuses on communication in the way breastfeeding is protected, promoted and supported. As an adoptive mother who is interested in breastfeeding your adopted child, communication about your goal to breastfeed is very important. Communicate the goal of breastfeeding your new child to your adoption agency and to the expectant mother as part of an overall ethical adoption with full disclosure.
