Synchronised Breastfeeding Event

About This Site

The Synchronised Breastfeeding Event is a nationwide initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the importance and benefits of breastfeeding for mothers, babies, families, and society. Taking place simultaneously in four towns across Cyprus, this special event brings communities together in a united show of support for breastfeeding and maternal health. Held under the auspices of the Ministry of Health and the Cyprus National Breastfeeding Committee, the event aims to promote a breastfeeding-friendly culture, provide evidence-based information, and celebrate the journey of motherhood. Participants will include new mothers, expectant mothers, healthcare professionals, breastfeeding support volunteers, and community members who share a commitment to supporting breastfeeding and early childhood wellbeing. Through collective participation, education, and shared experiences, the event seeks to strengthen awareness, empower families, and highlight the importance of support networks that enable mothers to breastfeed successfully. By bringing together families, professionals, and volunteers in synchronised gatherings across the island, the event symbolises unity, encouragement, and a shared commitment to giving every child the healthiest start in life.
