[10 Jan 2011] This week on "WHAT'S THE BUZZ?"- the WABA Youth team's take on being a young breastfeeding advocate

Breastfeeding is (bio)logical.

We know it's true, yet why are exclusive breastfeeding rates as low as 22% in some countries? What's a young person's role in protecting and promoting breastfeeding?

Look around you, young people (ages 18-35) are everywhere! As students, professionals, caregivers, and active members of society, we are plugged into the heart of many grassroots movements and breastfeeding should be no exception. It's time for young people to gear up and get the message out!

Feel free to update us on what YOUth are doing in your community and don't forget to check out "What's the Buzz", our weekly youth blog on breastfeeding.
