#Breastfeeding is systematically undervalued by societies and exploited by industry: A new research series in @TheLancet from WHO & partners.

This compromises the #HumanRights, health and well-being of women and children bit.ly/3Ya22iM
#Breastfeeding provides immense benefits for children & societies. It:
⬆️increases survival
⬆️improves physical & cognitive development
⬇️reduces infections, obesity & chronic disease risk.

Yet, less than half of babies are 🤱🏻- per WHO guidance - for the first 6 months
To protect health & support #breastfeeding, women need:
💟 Adequate paid maternity leave - preferably 6+ months - in line with WHO guidance on exclusive 🤱🏻
💟 Time off for 🤱🏻 or expressing milk upon return to work
💟 🤱🏻-friendly workplaces & childcare

100% serious:

The WHO has a "Technical Advisory Group on Behavioural Insights and Sciences for Health."

They even shamelessly publish their work.

For example, this document all about manipulating people into taking COVID-19 shots.
