Breastfeeding belongs here. Everywhere. 🤎
At home. At work. In hospitals. In restaurants. In parks. In airports. In communities. In public.
A breastfeeding mother should not have to disappear, cover herself, apologise, or choose between feeding her baby and participating in everyday life.
Supporting breastfeeding means creating a world where mothers can feed their babies when they need to, where they need to without shame, discomfort or judgement.
And in 2026, that conversation includes the spaces we’re building with technology too.
Breastfeeding should be recognised, protected and supported by all communities, institutions, workplaces, public spaces… and yes, even AI.(should stop flsgging breast tissue as s&€ual)
Because feeding a baby is not something that needs explaining away.
It needs support.

Postpartum nutrition isn’t about eating “special” foods or finding a magic food that will increase your milk.
It’s about giving your body enough energy, protein, fluids and a variety of nutrients to support recovery, daily life and breastfeeding. Breastfeeding mothers generally need additional energy compared with before pregnancy. -nutrition breastfeeding

Sometimes, the T-shirt starts the conversation. 💚

This evening on NTV Kenya, one of our founding members and former Chairlady Ciru Ciera had the opportunity to speak about the science of breast milk and when the KAB T-shirt caught attention, so did the story behind it. 🙌🏾

The Kenya Association for Breastfeeding is a community of professionals committed to protecting, promoting and supporting breastfeeding through evidence-based practice, education and advocacy.

And this is exactly what visibility looks like: our members taking credible breastfeeding information beyond clinics and consultation rooms and into everyday conversations.

From one conversation to another, we keep building a Kenya where families can access the breastfeeding information and support they need.

From Kenya to the global breastfeeding conversation. 🇰🇪🌍
We are proud to see our Chair, Florence Wanguhu, Wambui Your Midwife joining maternal and child health experts from across the region for this World Breastfeeding Week 2026 webinar on “Creating Sustainable Support Systems in Breastfeeding.”
Sustainable breastfeeding support is built when knowledge, skilled care and strong systems come together across facilities, communities and borders.

Florence brings to this conversation her experience as a midwife, lactation and childbirth educator, and Chair of the Kenya Association for Breastfeeding.

As we close , we celebrate Kenyan voices contributing to the wider conversation on how we can strengthen what works and build support systems that truly enable families to breastfeed.

Congratulations, Florence — represent us well! 🇰🇪👏🏾

It’s chic ✨
It’s chic to know that your ni**le type does **not automatically determine whether you can breastfeed.** 🤱🏾💚

Flat? Inverted? Prominent? Every breast and ni**le looks different — and sometimes what a mother needs isn’t to be told she *can’t* breastfeed, but to be shown **how to work with what she has.**

In this moment, a little guidance on positioning, shaping the breast and helping baby achieve a deep attachment made the difference. 🙌🏾

Because baby doesn’t breastfeed from the ni**le alone — effective attachment involves taking a good mouthful of the breast.

✨ It’s chic to ask for help.
✨ It’s chic to get skilled breastfeeding support.
✨ It’s chic to learn what works for *you and your baby.*

This World Breastfeeding Week, we’re strengthening what works — one mother, one baby, one practical skill at a time. 💚

For generations, breastfeeding has been part of Africa’s story.

Today, the numbers remind us how far we’ve come and how far we still have to go.

🇰🇪 Kenya has made remarkable progress in exclusive breastfeeding, but every statistic represents a mother who deserves support, accurate information, and a community that believes in her.

This World Breastfeeding Week, let’s celebrate the wins, strengthen what works, and keep closing the gaps.

Because when breastfeeding thrives, families, communities, and nations thrive.

Actually... it’s more than chic. It’s how we strengthen what works.

Every drop matters.
This Breastfeeding Week, we sat down with a pediatric nurse to talk about the power of breast milk and why every single drop makes a difference for a baby’s health and development.
He’s also part of something bigger: the warm chain the network of support (nurses, family, community, policy) that surrounds a mother and helps her breastfeed successfully. No mother should have to do this alone, and he’s proof that the right support at the right moment changes everything.
💧 Every drop matters.
🔗 Every link in the chain matters too.

🎥 *What works? Mentorship*

Breastfeeding support doesn’t happen by chance. It is built through consistent mentorship, practical coaching, and a culture of learning.

At Mbagathi Hospital, Julie, Head of Nutrition, shares how mentoring healthcare providers has strengthened the quality of breastfeeding support offered to mothers. From managing breastfeeding challenges to improving infant feeding practices, experienced colleagues walk alongside others, building skills, confidence, and consistency.

The result? Better support for families and stronger breastfeeding outcomes.

As Julie puts it, mentorship is tried, tested, and it works.

This World Breastfeeding Week 2026, we’re celebrating the systems that make a real difference. Because when we strengthen what works we create a more sustainable start in life for every baby.

💚 Thank you, Julie, and the Mbagathi Hospital team, for championing mentorship and investing in the next generation of breastfeeding supporters.

**Strengthening what works—one mother, one conversation at a time.**

This World Breastfeeding Week, our KAB team in **Kisumu** is meeting mothers where they are listening, encouraging, answering questions, and providing skilled breastfeeding support.

Today at *Port Florence Hospital*we reached mothers** across antenatal, postnatal, and maternal-child health clinics. Every conversation is an opportunity to build confidence, address concerns early, and strengthen the support mothers need to meet their breastfeeding goals.

Because breastfeeding doesn’t thrive on good intentions alone it thrives when families have access to timely, skilled, and compassionate support.

This is what looks like.
