The World Health Organisation and Unicef currently are pushing the breastfeeding barrow on Twitter.  As part of a WHO initiative on child nutrition, in a series of tweets over the weekend they highlight the importance of breastfeeding to both infant and maternal health, and pointed out that “just one in five children are breastfed in high-income countries”.

 The tweets made a number of constructive suggestions promoting greater acceptance and use of breastfeeding, including making workplaces friendlier for nursing mums, dads betting more involved in parenting, so on and so forth.
