During emergencies, #breastfeeding proves to be a life-saving source of nourishment for infants. Despite the floods, Nông Thùy Trang (pictured) managed to continue breastfeeding her 9-month-old daughter, Thùy Chi, along with complementary feeding. @irlembvietnam @UNICEF

In the photo, our colleague marks the floodwater level, which rose above head height on the walls of a local health station. With support from the Government of Ireland, we are working to narrow the nutrition gap caused by the typhoon. (2 of 2) @irlembvietnam.

A&T is part of a rapid assessment team led by the Viet Nam Ministry of Health and @UNICEF, evaluating nutritional challenges caused by #TyphoonYagi, especially for vulnerable groups like women and children. Flooding can isolate communities, hindering healthcare access. (1 of 2)

Supporting #breastfeeding narrows the #gendernutritiongap! Nutritional inequality puts non-breastfed babies at risk of malnutrition and severe complications. When pregnant women and nursing moms lack access to proper nutrition and healthcare the impact spans generations. #WBW2024

One kg of commercial milk formula generates around 11–14 kg of greenhouse gas during the product life cycle. #Breastfeeding is essential for babies, reduces carbon emissions, and positively impacts the environment. Use the #GreenFeedingTool to measure it!

#Breastfeeding may seem like a mom’s job, but it does require family and community support. While only moms can breastfeed, dads can help by sharing household chores and caring for the baby, thus enabling the baby to receive life-saving resources from breastmilk. #WBW2024 @FHI360
