Barriers that Limit Breast Feeding in the Black Community

-Inequities in access to health care
-The societal stigma of breastfeeding is heightened in black and brown people
-Lack of accommodation at work
-Neighborhoods are also lacking in hospital practices supporting breastfeeding

August is National Breastfeeding Month 🤱🏽🤱🏿🤱🏻🤱🏼🤱🏾 & we’re happy to announce that Birthnet has been working behind the scenes to bring something special to the #518 for 2021 . Last year we had an amazing virtual Q&A and this year we’re able to bring the celebration outdoors !

Black Breastfeeding Week is August 25th -August 31st . B*W aims to end the gaping racial disparity in breastfeeding rates while also encouraging diversity in the lactation field. For far too long, Black mothers have not been given the tools, resources and support needed to help them breastfeed their infants. This event also helps create a community for breastfeeding Black women to show they aren't alone. B*W as of 2021 is in it’s 9th year! & 2021’s theme is :

The Big Pause: Collective Rest for Collective Power.

This week B*W honors the need for rest & Birthnet NY has been inspired to create a *W21 event that speak to the power of rest in our lives and movement.

Please join us :
