About 10 million of the world's children die every year before they reach their fifth birthday. That is, over 27,000 per day, or over 1100 per hour. Of these, over a third - more than 450 - are less than a month old. Growing evidence tells us that good breastfeeding practices
can save thousands of these babies.
Unfortunately, not even half the women of the world carry out adequate breastfeeding. 135 Million, babies are born every year. Because of lack of support, only 64 million women initiate timely breastfeeding. Only 48 million women practice exclusive breastfeeding for six months.
