Black Breastfeeding Week is here (August 25-31)!

"We All We Got: 14 Years of Community, Care, and Collective Power" is the theme — a testament to those who support Black mothers and birthing people along their lactation journeys.

As the organizers at Black Breastfeeding Week shared: "Behind every breastfeeding journey is a village...We're honoring the people, products and communities who showed up for us one day at a time."

Follow Black Breastfeeding Week for activations and Milk Crawls in your city. Swipe for info about the Los Angeles Milk Crawl on Wednesday, 8/26.

🌸 We're joining UC Health Milk Bank and Cedars-Sinai to pump it forward all month!

If you're breastfeeding / chestfeeding, we invite you to participate in this virtual milk drive. If you know someone who's lactating, go ahead and send them this flyer.

What better way to honor National Breastfeeding Month than by donating milk to support infant feeding?

We've entered AANHPI Breastfeeding Week (August 15-21) and "Better Data, Better Care for AANHPI Families" is the theme.

Created and steered by the Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander Lactation Collaborative, this week amplifies lactation in Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities. This year's theme specifically highlights the vast diversity among these groups — and the need for more culturally congruent info to improve health maternal and infant health outcomes.

As the Collaborative notes: "Structural racism contributes to the aggregation of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) data, making it difficult to identify disparities and advocate for resources and policy change. Data disaggregation is essential to improve visibility, inform responsive maternal and child health efforts, and advance health equity across diverse AANHPI communities."

Join their free webinar tomorrow to learn more (11am - 1pm PST).
