WHO and UNICEF are calling on governments to protect and promote women’s access to skilled breastfeeding counselling, a critical component of breastfeeding support.
An alarmingly high number of children are suffering the consequences of poor diets and a food system that is failing them, UNICEF warns in a new report on children, food and nutrition.
Despite the benefits of breastfeeding, one in five babies in high-income countries are not breastfed at all, compared to just one in 25 in low- and-middle-income countries.
