Project: Maternity Health Campaign Project (‘6 Months: Mother’s Milk is All You Need’)

Location: Rakhine State, Myanmar

“6 Months: Mother’s Milk is All You Need” was a campaign that ran collectively by Save the Children, GIZ and other INGOS and technical partners to encourage breastfeeding for babies in the first 6 months of life. For optimal growth and development, the World Health Organisation’s recommended that infants under six months need to be exclusively breastfed by their mother. However in Myanmar, only half of them are.

To combat misinformation and old wive’s tales in ethnically, culturally, and linguistically different states of Myanmar, regionalised campaigns under the ‘6 Months’ banner were rolled out.
