遠在1990年8月， 在遙遠的意大利，世界衞生組織及聯合國兒童基金會與各國政府的決策者，為了保護兒童權益，保護、促進和支持母乳哺育而共同簽訂了伊諾森蒂宣言（Innocenti Declaration)，而從那時起，國際母乳餵哺行動聯盟（WABA）為母乳哺育打造全球聯合的倡導推廣政策，並於1992年開始，將每年的8月1日至7日， 定為國際母乳餵哺週，以紀念這個對母乳哺育權益產生翻天覆地變化的宣言。國際母乳餵哺週每年均有不同的主題，由最初的愛嬰醫院、母親友善工作間到今年的一起持續支持哺乳，每一年均以引起大眾對母乳哺育的重要性及關注為主，而慶祝國際母乳餵哺週的國家地區亦由最初的70個，增加到現在超過170個。 今年是國際母乳餵哺週25週年，讓我們在此對它說聲生日快樂🎉， 並一起繼續支持母乳育兒，守護母兒權益！
On August 1990, the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), together with the decision makers of member countries signed the Innocenti Declaration in order to safeguard the rights and interests of children and to protect, promote and support breastfeeding. Since then, the World Alliance of Breastfeeding Action (WABA) has created a global joint advocacy policy for breastfeeding. Beginning 1992, the World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) is celebrated from August 1st to 7th to commemorate this declaration of breastfeeding rights that has shaken the world. Although the WBW has a different theme every year, from 2010's "Just 10 Steps -- the Baby-friendly Way, 2015's "Breastfeeding and Work --- Let's Make it Work!" to this year's "Sustaining Breastfeeding Together, " the goal is always to increase the awareness in the public about breastfeeding and to educate about its importance. Incidentally, the number of countries that took part in the week-long celebration has increased from the original 70 to more than 170 last year. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the WBW, let us say Happy Birthday to it, and continue to support breastfeeding, and protect this important right of mothers and children!
