During emergencies, #breastfeeding proves to be a life-saving source of nourishment for infants. Despite the floods, Nông Thùy Trang (pictured) managed to continue breastfeeding her 9-month-old daughter, Thùy Chi, along with complementary feeding. @irlembvietnam @UNICEF

In the photo, our colleague marks the floodwater level, which rose above head height on the walls of a local health station. With support from the Government of Ireland, we are working to narrow the nutrition gap caused by the typhoon. (2 of 2) @irlembvietnam

Supporting #breastfeeding narrows the #gendernutritiongap! Nutritional inequality puts non-breastfed babies at risk of malnutrition and severe complications. When pregnant women and nursing moms lack access to proper nutrition and healthcare the impact spans generations. #WBW2024

One kg of commercial milk formula generates around 11–14 kg of greenhouse gas during the product life cycle. #Breastfeeding is essential for babies, reduces carbon emissions, and positively impacts the environment. Use the #GreenFeedingTool to measure it! greenfeedingtool.org

Women have to make an unfair choice between earning from work or #breastfeeding and childcare. Breastfeeding's importance to the economy is often underrecognized in metrics like GDP. The #MothersMilkTool helps govs quantify this crucial contribution! bit.ly/3WyIgOw

#Breastfeeding may seem like a mom’s job, but it does require family and community support. While only moms can breastfeed, dads can help by sharing household chores and caring for the baby, thus enabling the baby to receive life-saving resources from breastmilk. #WBW2024 @FHI360
