Friends , IBFAN Asia has launched this unique campaign , One Million Campaign to Support Breastfeeding About 10 million of the world's children die every year before they reach their fifth birthday. That is, over 27,000 per day, or over 1100 per hour. Of these 1100, over a third - more than 450 - are less than a month old. Evidence tells us that good breastfeeding practices can save thousands of these babies. Unfortunately, not even half the women of the world can carry out adequate breastfeeding. 135 Million, babies are born every year. Only 64 million women can initiate timely breastfeeding. Only 48 million women can practise exclusive breastfeeding for six months. They cannot carry out adequate breastfeeding of their babies because they lack support. Sign up our petition to demand support to women to be successful in breastfeeding and stop unethical marketing of baby foods/formula. More than 32000 people have already signed, you can also join http://www.onemillioncampaign.org/en/Details_Petitions.aspx During the May 3rd week, World leaders will meet in Geneva to discuss the impact of financial crisis on global health; we will submit our petition to them to remind them demand this support to women for being successful in breastfeeding. So Hurry Up and sign up Now, and tell your friends to do so. Thanks !
