World Breastfeeding Week – NWU sets example with their breastfeeding policy─── 09:00 Thu, 03 Aug 2023
World Breastfeeding Week specifically focuses on breastfeeding and employment/work in 2023. With that in mind, Mid-Morning Magic's Yolanda Maartens approached the NWU to find out what their breastfeeding policy stipulates.
Senior Wellness Specialist at the North West University Bonita Maboeta talks about the NWU's breastfeeding policy which is truly a trailblazer initiative to inspire other institutions to follow suit.
World Breastfeeding Week also aims to showcase the impact of paid leave, workplace support, and emerging parenting norms on breastfeeding through the lens of parents themselves. The target audiences include governments, policymakers, workplaces, communities, and parents who need to be engaged to play their critical roles in empowering families and sustaining breastfeeding-friendly environments in the post-pandemic work life.
