A series of stunning photos is celebrating the beauty of breastfeeding around the world. In honor of National Breastfeeding Month and World Breastfeeding Week, Lansinoh partnered with photographer Tina Boyadjieva to capture mothers nursing their children in 18 countries, including Peru, France, Turkey and South Africa. The Breastfeeding Around the World photo campaign features mothers from different socioeconomic statuses, races and occupations. Although the World Health Organization recommends children up to six months be breastfed exclusively, breastfeeding rates vary considerably by country. According to research published in the medical journal The Lancet, universal breastfeeding could prevent the deaths of 823,000 children younger than 5 years each year.
