In Syria, only 28% of children are exclusively breastfed in their first six months, risking life-long consequences. Through this mobile clinic, we're changing that narrative. Breastfeeding is not just a mother's job - it's a family and community responsibility. Investing in nutrition services and skilled breastfeeding counseling is crucial for the health and future of our children.

Monitoring matters. Exclusive breastfeeding, when a child only receives breastmilk for the first six months of life, is crucial for a child's growth and development. Yet not enough countries collect data on it. The more we know, the more we can take action. UNICEF is working with governments and partners to strengthen monitoring, which will in turn, help inform policies and investments which create supportive environments for breastfeeding mothers. #WorldBreastfeedingWeek
