Mexico and Bolivia unveil inclusive breastfeeding platforms
In Mexico, the National Milk Industry Chamber (CANILEC) launched the digital platform “Lactancia Materna para Todos” in the Chamber of Deputies, with officials including Deputy Mónica Herrera and Director René Fonseca. The site (www.lactanciaincluyente.info) offers evidence‑based resources tailored for diverse families—people with disabilities, indigenous midwives, first‑time parents and other groups that INEGI reports face higher barriers to breastfeeding information.
The Liga de la Leche México Chapter Saltillo, led by Yuridia Sánchez Ríos, called for a cultural revival of breastfeeding, emphasizing the need for family support and condemning misinformation and misapplied feminist narratives.
In Bolivia, health professionals Javier Toledo, Sandra Vargas and Karla Cano highlighted breastfeeding during World Breastfeeding Week on regional TV, promoting multidisciplinary primary‑care teams, lactation clinics and an upcoming “Tetapalooza” event on 1 August at CESFAM Dr. Mateo Bencur.
