🌍 By 2050, around 1 in 5 people will be aged 60 or older, making #HealthyAgeing more important than ever. We need stronger health systems & supportive environments that help people stay healthy, active, and, as @WHO puts it, β€œdo the things they value for as long as possible.”

🀱 Breastfeeding is ideal for babies, but every journey is different. If #breastfeeding isn’t possible, formula is a safe alternative that supports your baby’s growth. Talk to your doctor or midwife to find the best option for your situation. #WorldBreastfeedingWeek
