World Breastfeeding Week 2026: Pigeon India Calls for More Breastfeeding-Friendly Spaces · republicworld.com

Every year, the world celebrates World Breastfeeding Week to talk about feeding babies with milk from their mothers.

This year's theme is about how breastfeeding gives babies a strong and healthy start in life.

Pigeon India, a company that has supported parents for over 70 years, is part of this week.

It says many mothers worry about where they can feed their babies when they go outside.

Some mothers even stay home because they cannot find a quiet, private place to nurse their baby.

Pigeon India made a campaign called #StandByNursingMoms to help fix this problem.

The campaign shares little stories about mothers looking for a place to feed their hungry babies.

Pigeon has been working since 2017 to create special breastfeeding rooms across India.

It hopes workplaces, malls, airports, and restaurants will have friendly places for mothers and babies.

Chinee Sikha Dutta

Marketing Head of Pigeon India

“"Every breastfeeding mother deserves comfort, privacy, and dignity. In 2017, we started the #StandByNursingMoms campaign to showcase how Pigeon India is helping create safe breastfeeding rooms across India, making it easier for mothers to nurse their little ones with confidence, wherever they are. Because supporting breastfeeding isn't just about awareness; it's about building spaces that truly stand by nursing mothers."”
