The Bahamas National Breastfeeding Association (BNBA), in partnership with the Ministry of Health & Wellness, concluded its observance of World Breastfeeding Week 2026, celebrating another successful week of education, advocacy and community engagement aimed at promoting breastfeeding across The Bahamas.
The observance concluded with The Big Latch On at Mall at Marathon, where breastfeeding mothers and their families joined the global movement in a public show of support for breastfeeding while connecting with healthcare professionals and experienced mothers.
One of the week’s highlights was the World Breastfeeding Week Educational Exhibit Competition, which showcased informative and creative displays from health clinics across the country.
BNBA President and Registered Nurse Trineka McCardy thanked the Ministry of Health & Wellness, healthcare professionals, volunteers, community partners and participating families for helping to make the week’s activities a success.
The Bahamas National Breastfeeding Association encourages expectant parents and new mothers to seek breastfeeding support early and to take advantage of the many resources available through healthcare providers and the association.
