World Breastfeeding Week 2026 initiatives launched in Bermuda and Indonesia

Various regions and organizations observed World Breastfeeding Week 2026 with initiatives aimed at improving support for nursing mothers.

In Bermuda, the Department of Health and the Bermuda National Breastfeeding Committee hosted a series of community events. Activities included a documentary screening on the lived experiences of mothers, an Art of Hand Expression class, and a panel discussion titled ‘One Size Does Not Fit All.’ Minister of Health Kim Wilson participated in these events, emphasizing the need for compassionate, evidence-based support tailored to the unique journeys of individual families.

In Indonesia, the organization Mom Uung launched the ‘#NoMotherLeftBehind’ movement. Founded by Uung Victoria Finky, the initiative seeks to provide equitable access to education and counseling for both stay-at-home and working mothers. The movement focuses on addressing the complex challenges of breastfeeding, including the need for emotional support and practical information, to ensure no mother feels isolated in her journey.
