This month the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) launches a “Virtual Torch Run” around the world, running from June to December 2008. The Virtual Torch Run will be marked by a torch on the world map for each World Breastfeeding Week event registered during that time. To mark your event, submit the simple pledge form to WABA. To view the map, click here. La Leche League (LLL) groups in the United States should also remember to register their events with LLL. Non-LLL groups can also register by filling out a form for other registrants.

]]> The World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action chose four winning breastfeeding videos in its 2008 World Breastfeeding Week Video Contest. My favorite so far is “Lactating Mother” (by Uma Devi), which I thought made its point in 52 seconds rather well:

]]> If you have a blog or other website, there is an easy and fun way to support World Breastfeeding Week 2008. A whole page of banner ads can be found on the LLL in the USA site. I simply right-clicked on each ad, saved a copy to my computer, uploaded it to my site, and linked it to the LLL in the USA WBW 2008 home page. (Really, that’s the best explanation I can give. The banner ads page has a link to contact someone for help putting an ad on your own page).

Here are the available ads:
