It's Black Breastfeeding Week and this year the theme is 'The Big Rest: Collective Rest for Collective Power'
This year's Black breastfeeding week is over 25-31 August, with the theme this year being 'The Big Rest: Collective Rest for Collective Power'.
2021 marks the 9th year of Black Breastfeeding Week. This year, the theme The Big Pause: Collective Rest for Collective Power, honors the need for rest. Not only does this week serve to celebrate and amplify the successes black breastfeeding mothers deserve to be recognised for, but it also serves to highlight and revolutionise the hardships black women have faced year on year in regards to birthing and nourishing their babies at the breast.
More now than ever before, it is critical that Black communities be equipped with the tools needed to repair the harms to breastfeeding norms among black families, regain momentum in reducing racial disparities and to, ultimately, meet the goals of Healthy People 2020; 81.9% breastfeeding initiation and 60.6% duration at 6 months.There is a history of breastfeeding trauma for black women.
