In response to Marilyn's question re: Breastfeeding week 1998: It is my
understanding that World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated the same week of
every year, August 1 - August 7. On Long Island (NY) we sponsor a World
Breastfeeding Week Letter writing contest whereby we invite mothers to
write letters describing their breastfeeding experiences. We usually
suggest a theme but all letters are read and judged. A free luncheon is
given for all contestants with the winners of the contest receiving a
savings bond.
Sincerely,
Christine Foley, RN, BSN, IBCLC
