Referring to World Breastfeeding Week, WABA states that "Officially it is celebrated from 1­7 August. However, groups may choose other dates to make it a more successful event in their countries."

What I cannot find is a list of which countries celebrate World Breastfeeding Week August 1-7, and which celebrate it some other time.

Does anyone know of such a list? 

I'll be happy to compile a list and post it back to LACTNET, as well as make it available on a website.

Just to cut down on the message traffic, I believe these dates are correct for the following countries, so unless I'm wrong there is no need to confirm:

August 1-7: Australia, Cameroon, Chile, New Zealand, Pakistan, Singapore, USA, 

October 1-7: Canada

So LACTNetters, when is World Breastfeeding Week in your country?

Thanks,

Dave Vaklyes
