Here's a great resource for Deaf & Hard of Hearing Breastfeeding Week and beyond!
For the inaugural Deaf & Hard of Hearing Breastfeeding Week, we are thrilled to share an ASL Breastfeeding Education Video Series 🎉 !!!
The first of its kind, this breastfeeding series features education and information specifically targeted to engage Deaf and Hard of Hearing people. There is no spoken English used throughout the series, only ASL and closed captioning. The production company, Blue20, is owned by a Deaf person; more than 90% of the talent engaged and the production team is Deaf or Hard of Hearing.🤟🏽
The series includes:
1) Answers to Common Breastfeeding Concerns
2) The Gift That Lasts a Lifetime
3) Breastfeeding: In the Beginning; Returning to Work Advocacy
These three videos were produced by the D.C. Breastfeeding Coalition and Blue20 with love and care. We want to deeply thank the US Breastfeeding Committee for hosting these resources.
