Remember when?

Sesame Street has always been ahead of the curve — even when it came to normalizing breastfeeding! Buffy Sainte-Marie breastfed her son on the show in 1977, becoming the first person to do so on TV.

Drop a 💧 if you saw / remember this or tell us where you first saw breastfeeding onscreen!

In honor of AANHPI Lactation Week, BreastfeedLA and the AANHPI Lactation Collaborative presents part one of a multi-part webinar series on language and lactation. This first session features a panel discussion of health professionals and community members. Together, we will center the lived experiences of clients who do not share the same language as their lactation providers, challenge deficit-based assumptions, and reframe linguistic diversity as a strength. We’ll also explore how systemic and institutional factors contribute to viewing language difference as a problem, and offer strength-based, culturally responsive strategies to better serve culturally and linguistically diverse families.
