World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action

WABA is a global network of organizations and individuals who believe that "breastfeeding is the right of all children and mothers and who dedicate themselves to protect, promote and support this right". WABA acts on the Innocenti Declaration and works in liaison with UNICEF.

Established in 1991, WABA seeks to re-establish and maintain a global breastfeeding culture; eliminate obstacles to breastfeeding; promote regional and national co-operation; and advocate for breastfeeding around the world through information sharing and networking among many agencies and organizations.

The site features reports on such projects as World Breastfeeding Week, position papers, and international campaigns. Much of the information on the site is available in eight languages. An extensive photo gallery shows breastfeeding around the world, and virtual greeting cards, a guestbook, and well-selected links are included. A wonderfully unique children's section includes a gallery of Thai children's art, two online booklets written for children, "Breastfeeding is an Ecological Act" and "Mammals??? What is That?!" and information about the Mariana breastfeeding doll.
