SUMMARY:World Breastfeeding Week
DESCRIPTION:World Breastfeeding Week is hosted by WABA\, the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action. \n  \nIt was a call to action from WABA that started the Ten Steps to a Breastfeeding Family Friendly Community. Our whole framework began as an answer to this week. \n  \nIt is easy to let a week like this pass\, to think an awareness week is a small thing. But these calls to action\, and the accountability that comes with them\, change the world slowly. Take this week to celebrate. \n  \nWABA publishes a full week of materials and a call to action each year. Follow their lead.

SUMMARY:National Breastfeeding Month
DESCRIPTION:For our readers\, National Breastfeeding Month lasts all year. Every day is National Breastfeeding Month when this is your work. \n  \nAugust is when the rest of the country joins us. \n  \nIt is a transformative month for this organization. We come out of every August with new framing and new ideas that carry us through the next eleven months. It is also exhausting. Most of us have something on the calendar every single day\, and we push hard. \n  \nSo let this month fuel you. See the joy in it. Choose progress over perfection.

SUMMARY:Semana de la Lactancia Latina
DESCRIPTION:Semana de la Lactancia Latina is organized by the Union de Lideres de Lactancia Latino. \nThey plan the week\, they build the resources\, and they publish a week of things to do. Their work supporting Spanish-speaking families is far better than anything the rest of us could assemble on our own. Go to their page and see what they have. \nCelebrate it locally. If Spanish-speaking families live in your community\, this week belongs on your calendar and their resources belong in your hands.

SUMMARY:Deaf and Hard of Hearing Breastfeeding Week
DESCRIPTION:Deaf and Hard of Hearing Breastfeeding Week is organized by the DC Breastfeeding Coalition. \nUniversal access is not an add-on to this work. A family who cannot get information in the language they actually use is a family we have not served\, and this week names that plainly. Follow their page and use what they publish. \nCelebrate it locally. Ask one hard question where you are: if a Deaf parent walked into your support group next week\, what would happen?
