This year’s campaign will be encouraging mothers from low-income backgrounds to initiate and continue to breastfeed their baby. The campaign focuses on encouraging women to access the support that will help them to breastfeed for longer, and the strapline, ‘Breastfeeding: every day makes a difference to your baby’, reflects the message that each day a women continues to breastfeed is another day the child receives important health benefits from its mother’s milk.
