The World Health Organisation (WHO) aims to increase the number of babies who are exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life to 60% by 2030. Breastfeeding benefits both mother and baby, helping to protect against infections as well as longer-term conditions including obesity, diabetes, some cancers and heart disease. Supporting more families to breastfeed could save the NHS up to £50 million each year as well as reduce hospital admissions and GP consultations (Unicef UK, 2026).
