About

World Milksharing Week is held annually during the last week of September. Our goal is to celebrate milksharing and to promote human milk as the biologically normal nourishment for babies and children.

World Milksharing Week was born within Human Milk 4 Human Babies Global Network. The network launched the first ever World Milksharing Week, which took place from September 24-30, 2011, all around the planet. The logo was designed by HM4HB community page administrator, Dani Arnold-McKenny.

We hope that by raising awareness about milksharing, families will never again feel forced into feeding breastmilk substitutes –an act which is not without risk to the health of the child. The incredible sense of community that is created among donor and recipient families who partake in milksharing is to be celebrated.

Currently, World Milksharing Week is organised by the World Milksharing Week Committee.
