Texas Children’s Global Health Network spotlights partners in Argentina and Colombia for World Breastfeeding Week 2021

Texas Children’s Global Health Network is shining a light on its partners in Colombia and Argentina for World Breastfeeding Week, the global campaign held from August 1-7 that aims to galvanize action on breastfeeding and related issues. Breastfeeding is one of the most effective ways to ensure child health and survival, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO and UNICEF recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of the child’s life and after this period, accompanied by appropriate complementary feeding for up to two years and beyond, in order to ensure adequate growth and development of children.
