Black Breastfeeding Week is celebrated the last week of August!

According to the CDC: “Increasing rates of breastfeeding initiation and supporting continuation of breastfeeding among black women might help reduce disparities in breastfeeding duration. Strategies might include improving peer and family support, access to evidence-based maternity care, and employment support.” Learn how these networks can fill a gap in breastfeeding support for Black families - a gap largely created by the historic and systemic inequities.

Join the movement with the theme for 2021: The Big Pause: Collective Rest for Collective Power. #BBW21
