Quoting my lactivist mentor, Pn. Kamariah, "Happy World Breastfeeding Week to all lactivist around the world!"
World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) has announced that the slogan and theme for World Breastfeeding Week 2015 is Breastfeeding and work: Let's make it work! Yes, LET'S MAKE IT WORK! #WBW2015
Whether a woman is working in the formal, non-formal or home setting, she needs to feel sufficiently empowered to claim the right to breastfeed on behalf of both herself and her baby. Read WABA's press release.

Last year's slogan and theme was BREASTFEEDING: A Winning Goal - For Life!

In 14 days' time, it will be TWO YEARS since I gave birth and started breastfeeding my son. Breastfeeding beyond infancy and into toddlerhood rocks albeit a rather rough and rocky beginning. But the saying goes, "Tough times don't last; tough people do." Oh yeah!
The reward? My little milkaholic is still enjoying his "cuppas of mother's milk" until now, and of course, till the very last drop! :)

And now, a little shout-out for myself, ahem.
I have completed the Malaysian Breastfeeding Peer Counselors training end of July this year!
If you know any breastfeeding mothers who need help to observe her baby's latch, breastfeeding positions, breast engorgement, etc, or if you just want to chat about breastfeeding journey in general, feel free to contact me. I'll be more than happy to be there.
You can connect with me at facebook.com/joycescapade.

And now, a shout-out for fellow mommy blogger, That Skinny Elephant. She will be posting up sort of a 'did you know' or a fun fact pic about breastfeeding on her social media every Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for the month of August. The pics will be hashtagged under #tsebreastfeeding. Be sure to check her out!
