MCH nurses can provide breastfeeding help
This week is World Breastfeeding Week and Wodonga Council’s Maternal Child Health nurses are here to help women breastfeed.
The theme of this year is Protect Breastfeeding: a shared responsibility. The theme reflects on how breastfeeding contributes to the survival, health and wellbeing of all.
The theme also acknowledges that although support at the individual level is very important, breastfeeding must be considered a public health issue that requires investment at all levels. The concept of ‘building back better’ after the COVID-19 pandemic will provide an opportunity to create a warm chain of support for breastfeeding that includes health systems, workplaces and communities at all levels of society.
