National Breastfeeding Month


August is National Breastfeeding Month — a month dedicated to advancing advocacy, protection, and promotion of breastfeeding to ensure that all families have the opportunity to breastfeed. Equity gaps in access to resources and support create troubling disparities for breastfeeding mothers and birthing people.

The U.S. Breastfeeding Committee (USBC) National Breastfeeding Month (NBM) theme for 2022 is "Together We Do Great Things!"

Please visit National Institute for Children's Health Quality at https://www.nichq.org/campaign/breastfeeding-safe-sleep-awareness-month and the USBC at https://www.usbreastfeeding.org/national-breastfeeding-month.html.

If you are experiencing any breastfeeding problems please contact your health care professional or a lactation consultant.
Si usted está teniendo problemas para amamantar, por favor contacte a su médico o un asesor de lactancia.
