Nutrition Society of Nigeria Celebrates World Breastfeeding Week 2024

Nutrition Society of Nigeria Celebrates World Breastfeeding Week 2024

By Edoamaowo Udeme

The Nutrition Society of Nigeria (NSN) is proud to join the global community in celebrating World Breastfeeding Week 2024, observed annually from August 1st to 7th. This year’s theme, “Closing the Gap: Breastfeeding Support for All,” underscores the urgent need to provide comprehensive and equitable breastfeeding support to every mother and child, regardless of their circumstances.

According to the press statement released by the NSN today in Abuja, Breastfeeding is widely recognized as one of the most effective ways to ensure the health and survival of infants. It provides essential nutrients, strengthens the immune system, and fosters a unique bond between mother and child. Despite its proven benefits, many mothers face significant challenges in initiating and maintaining breastfeeding, often due to a lack of support, misinformation, and social or economic barriers.

NSN recognizes the commitment of the government of Nigeria through the Federal Ministry of Health and other stakeholders towards improving breastfeeding practices especially the increase achieved in exclusive breastfeeding rate up to 34%, this is far short of the 2025 target of 50% as contained in the National Policy on Food and Nutrition and WHO global target.

NSN has been in the forefront of advocating for 6 months paid maternity leave for working mothers and establishment of workplace breastfeeding policies in public service in all states of the federation and increasing access to education and appropriate information to mothers especially in rural areas. Government needs to redouble its efforts if the global target of at least 50% EBF rate must be achieved.

As we celebrate World Breastfeeding Week 2024, the Nutrition Society of Nigeria calls for concerted efforts from all stakeholders to ensure that every mother receives the support she needs to breastfeed successfully. This includes access to accurate information, practical guidance, and a supportive environment in healthcare settings, workplaces, and communities.

NSN will continue to collaborate with relevant stakeholders to raise awareness about the importance of breastfeeding and the need for inclusive support systems. These will empower mothers with the knowledge and resources they need to provide the best start in life for their children.

NSN also urges policymakers, employers, and community leaders to take actionable steps towards creating a breastfeeding-friendly society. This includes implementing policies that protect maternity rights, providing breastfeeding facilities in public spaces and workplaces, and ensuring that healthcare professionals are equipped to offer the necessary support to new mothers.

By closing the gap in breastfeeding support, we can contribute to healthier outcomes for mothers and children and move closer to achieving global health and nutrition goals.
