August is Breastfeeding Awareness Month in Mississippi!
We are honored to share that Governor Tate Reeves has officially proclaimed August 2026 as Breastfeeding Awareness Month in Mississippi. This proclamation recognizes the importance of breastfeeding and reaffirms our state's commitment to supporting mothers, babies, and families.
As we celebrate World Breastfeeding Week (August 1β7) and Breastfeeding Awareness Month, let's continue working together to promote, protect, and support breastfeeding across Mississippi.
Thank you to all of our healthcare professionals, community partners, advocates, and breastfeeding families for making a difference every day!
