๐คฑ August is National Breastfeeding Month! ๐
This month, we celebrate the strength of mothers, babies, families, and the communities that support them. The 2026 theme, RISE, highlights four pillars that help families thrive:
๐ Resilience โ Honoring the perseverance of parents and caregivers.
๐ค Interdependence โ Recognizing the importance of supportive families, healthcare providers, and communities.
๐ฑ Self-Determination โ Respecting every parent's right to make informed infant feeding decisions.
โจ Empowerment โ Advocating for policies, resources, and environments that make breastfeeding possible for all families.
Breastfeeding provides important health benefits for both babies and parents, and every family's feeding journey is unique. Access to education, compassionate care, and ongoing support can make all the difference.
At Central Neighborhood Health Foundation, our Comprehensive Women's Healthcare Services team is here to provide guidance, education, and support throughout your pregnancy and postpartum journey.
