According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “If every child was breastfed within an hour of birth, given only breast milk for their first six months of life, and continued breastfeeding up to the age of two years, about 800,000 child lives would be saved every year.” The International Breastfeeding Journal, which is open access and free to anyone, publishes the latest research on breastfeeding and all its health-related, psychological, sociological, and even anthropological impacts. Recent articles have included a qualitative study on the implementation of a new initiative in an Australian hospital, a cross-sectional study of Ethiopian mothers who breastfeed, and a commentary on breastfeeding in public. With hundreds of articles online, the International Breastfeeding Journal is a great resource for anyone interested in this fundamental health practice.
