Breastfeeding Celebration Week 2019 is planned for week commencing 17 June. Along with partner organisations and breastfeeding charities. Public Health England (PHE) will engage in a social media centred celebration of breastfeeding. The theme for the week in 2019 is promoting the benefits of skin to skin contact, both immediately after birth and throughout the early weeks of life. PHE has commissioned a short film focussed on empowering young women who wish to breastfeed to support them achieving their intended breastfeeding duration and celebrating with women with black, Asian or minority ethnic ancestry who choose to breastfeed.
