Happy Labor Day!

A special shoutout to those balancing breastfeeding and work, your dedication deserves recognition. Today marks the beginning of Workplace Lactation Week, celebrated from September 1–7.

Now in its third year, Workplace Lactation Week is a time to raise awareness about the challenges parents face in the workplace and to share valuable resources, education, and support. It’s a call to action for employers, leaders, and communities to help create more breastfeeding-friendly work environments.

This year’s theme: "A World of Support: Creating Breastfeeding-Friendly Workplaces Everywhere" champions positive change in every workspace, making it so that every parent has access to the support and protections they need to thrive while pumping at work.

🎉Happy World Breastfeeding Week 2025 (August 1–7)!!🙌🏽❤️

This week, we celebrate the power, beauty, and resilience of breastfeeding families around the world! It’s a global reminder that breastfeeding is not just about milk. It’s also about connection, care, and community🙏🏼.

Whether you’re nursing at the breast, pumping, combo feeding, or figuring it all out one day at a time, you are doing something incredible!

As an IBCLC, I’m honored to support families through every step of their feeding journey. Let’s continue building a world where informed, supported, and empowered feeding is the norm.
