World Breastfeeding Week 2025

At Door Step School Foundation (DSSF), we create awareness to breastfeeding mothers in some of the most underserved communities, including construction sites, sugar factories, and brick kilns.


Our key activities include:

✅ Discussion with parents on myths, proper breastfeeding methods, and hygiene

✅ Sharing information about the importance of breastfeeding and recommended frequency

✅ Educating on continued breastfeeding with complementary feeding after 6 months

✅ Supporting access to Take-Home Rations (THR) from Anganwadis for improved nutrition


Why it matters:

Creating sustainable support systems begins with awareness and access. At DSSF, we focus on ensuring that mothers receive the right information about breastfeeding and are connected to existing government resources like Anganwadi services and Take-Home Rations (THR). This helps families make informed choices and supports healthier starts for children within their communities.


This year’s theme calls for governments, employers, healthcare providers, and communities to establish breastfeeding-friendly policies, such as:

🔹 Paid maternity leave

🔹 Dedicated lactation spaces

🔹 Training for healthcare workers and workplace support staff

Together, we can build an environment where every mother feels supported and every child thrives.
