World Breastfeeding Week<\/a> occurs every year from 1-7 August. This year the World Health Organisation and UNICEF are promoting the importance of breastfeeding within a baby’s first hour of life, providing the newborn with an instant hit of colostrum – also known as their\u00a0\u2018first vaccine\u2019.<\/p>\n
