World Breastfeeding Week is August 1 - 7 Aug 1st 2011, 13:00 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: "Talk to me! Breastfeeding - a 3D Experience". Why 3D? Because breastfeeding, as explained on the World Breastfeeding Week website, is usually about time(from pre-pregnancy to weaning) and place(the home, community, health care system, etc). This year they want to also focus on a third dimension - communication! 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.
