From October 12 to 16, 2026, World Breastfeeding Week returns to the Alpes-Maritimes. The event features meetings and discussions to support families.

Breastfeeding, essential for the health of both baby and mother, will be the focus of World Breastfeeding Week (WBW). This year's theme, "Breastfeeding, a springboard for life: supporting and strengthening what works," emphasizes the importance of information and support for families.
Numerous events are scheduled in the Alpes-Maritimes, allowing parents, expectant parents, and interested individuals to ask questions, share experiences, and discover local resources. The program includes consultations, practical workshops, parent cafés, and discussions with health and early childhood professionals.
Those wishing to participate can find the complete program detailing dates, locations, and animation modalities available for download.
Beyond this awareness week, the teams at the maternal and child protection centers (PMI) and the 1,000 First Days Houses of the Department of Alpes-Maritimes provide year-round support to families, offering listening, information, and advice on infant feeding and breastfeeding.
