Breastfeeding is a vital part of sustainable development and a non-negotiable component of global action to end malnutrition. Increased rates of exclusive and continued breast- feeding can only be achieved by cooperating and collaborating across sectors and genera- tions. There is an agreed goal for all governments to priorities the World Health Assembly (WHA) global target for an increase in the rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the first 6 months up to at least 50% by the year 2025.

This is particularly through the links between breastfeeding and nutrition and food security; health, development and survival; achieving full educational potential and economic productivity and the fact that breastfeeding is an environmentally sustainable method of feeding compared to the ALTERNATIVES.

Page no 83 of 124 Outcome of the event

As different events were organized over the week at different level (Facility, Community Clinic & Community); people are able to aware about benefit of breast feeding to the child at least up to 2 years and their nutrition aspect.

First time mothers came to learn the process of breast feeding through demonstration at CC & facilities.

People came to know about the demerits of powder milk or other pro- cessed packet milk.

CG/CSG/CmSS members come with a more leadership role in the issue of breastfeeding as well as nutrition.

Organized mother gathering & ANC camp by CG/CSG/CmSS members at community level to mobilize the pregnant women for taking skilled MNH service and awareness building on nutrition issue.

Front line staff of H&FP and community people are sensitized about exclu- sive breastfeeding and nutrition.

All the events of BFW 2018 are positively reflected in the service of CC, UH&FWC and community level service provider, especially in Private CSBA service such as counseling on nutrition, MNP & IFA distribution, ANC and PNC through engagement of community platform.

GO and NGO Frontline staff and service providers have been agreed to give more importance on breast feeding counseling at community.

Pregnant Women and their family members have participated in this event, awareness build up was developed among them to maintain early initiation and Exclusive Breastfeeding (EBF) for their children.

Page no 84 of 124 Learnings

Community Clinic level discussion helps to reach poor, extremely poor and socially excluded people.

Mass peoples are aware regarding importance of breastfeeding through this mass campaign

Create and scope of building functional linkage with GoB, NGO’s, Commu- nity Clinic and community peoples

If arrange this kind of event involving with community peoples it became more effective.

Challenges

Workload was huge and insufficient time allocation for doing the ground work to make the event up to the mark was not adequate

Ensuring participation of local government representative due to engage other priorities.

Recommendation

At community level regular discussion with lactating mother is required. CARE project’s will take necessary initiative for this.

Sensitization of key decision makers at household level is a prerequisite for ensuring breastfeeding of children under 2 years.

Different day celebration should include within project planned activities.

Page no 85 of 124 World Breastfeeding Week-2018 is observed effectively at District, Sub District and community level with active involvement of GOB, NGOs, LG, CG/CSG/CmSS and community people. Women participation is highly appreciated, but more mens involvement in such type of important event is very vital. So that male can realize the importance of this event as well exclusive breastfeeding and their role in this regard. Although Breastfeeding is the normal way of providing young infants with the nutrient’s they need for healthy growth and development. Virtually all mothers can breastfeed, provided they have accurate information, and the support of their family, the health care system and society at large. All CARE Bangladesh Projects are playing key roles regarding promotion of exclusive breastfeeding at Community

Among other activities, CNRS-NASS Khulna Region Team has prepared 2 sets of fastoons focused on breastfeeding week celebration to Khuna, Satkhira and Rangpur districts. After rally and discussion meeting this fastoons were distribut- ed among the Civil Surgeon office, SDF regional and district level office.

CNRS-NASS Khulna Region concludes that Bangladesh has achieved a lot of success on reducing infant and child mortality rate, rather in remote areas this number is too high. Still people don’t provide the first breast milk of mother to her child. They ignore this due to superstitions and put sugar or honey to the newly borne baby though it is harmful for the baby’s health. World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) is the right platform to reduce such superstations from the rural society. For better success of this WBW, government and NGOs health providers should be more focused on the rural and remote areas where such superstations are acute. Only then the objective and goals of this WBW will be fulfilled.
