Parents of newborns can get a free nurse visit when they bring their baby home. During the visit, the nurse can assess the health of both mom and baby, answer any questions, and provide guidance around resources, support and how to keep their baby (and them) .

This week is dedicated to supporting Breastfeeding in the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. Here are a list of schedule activities and presentations to learn more and better support families!

Happy National Deaf and Hard of Hearing Breastfeeding week! We will kick things off starting tomorrow September 16-22, 2025!!

The 2025 theme is Close the Gap, Bridge the Divide:
Establish Breastfeeding Support Access.
The mission of this initiative is to Provide Deaf and Hard of Hearing families with accessible breastfeeding education, support, and community, because language and breastfeeding access matters from birth.

We couldn’t have done this without the support and collaboration of The DC Breastfeeding Coalition DC Breastfeeding Coalition, along with The Anthropology of Motherhood The Anthropology of Motherhood and The United States Breastfeeding Committee U.S. Breastfeeding Committee - USBC. We are forever grateful to them.
