Since the first World Milk Day was held in 2001, many countries spread throughout the world have participated in the celebrations and the number is growing each year.

Why hold a World Milk Day? The Day provides an opportunity to focus attention on milk and to publicise activities connected with milk and the milk industry. The fact that many countries choose to do this on the same day lends additional importance to individual national celebrations and shows that milk is a global food.

Where did it begin? FAO (the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations) was asked to propose a specific day on which all aspects of milk could be celebrated.

Why 1st June? This date was chosen because a number of countries were already celebrating a national milk day on or around this time. Late May was originally proposed, but some countries, for example China, felt they already had too many celebrations in that month. While most countries hold their celebrations on 1st June, some choose to hold them a week or so before or after this date.

Seriously laughing at the advantages of breast milk

Milk is a complete food which is composed of Carbohydrate (lactose), protein (in form of casein and whey), fats, minerals, vitamin, water and other bioactive substance. Exclusive breastfeeding is HIGHLY recommended for babies in the first 6 months of life as milk contains all they need for sustaining life including colostrum which helps immunity.

Whoever has not tasted milk has not tasted life.
