World Breastfeeding Week Around the World: U.S.A. World Breastfeeding Week in other countries

LLL in the USA World Breastfeeding Week Celebrations are five months of awareness raising events and individual fundraising to highlight the mission of La Leche League in our communities and among those we know.

World Breastfeeding Week Celebrations (WBWC)
May 1 - September 30, 2006

Combining Two Wonderful Events

In addition to the annual celebration of World Breastfeeding Week, LLLI's 50th Anniversary will kick off with picnics around the world in the summer of 2006 to commemorate the first picnic that started La Leche League. LLLI will have a big picnic in Wilder Park where the Founders met 50 years ago. Leaders are encouraged to hold picnics in their own towns too. LLLI is choosing to hold a celebration that will span into 2007 and culminate with the '07 International Conference in Chicago. Because 2006 is also the 25th anniversary of the WHO Code, it seems a natural link to celebrate the two events together this year.
