Breastfeeding Isn’t Just Feeding. It’s Comfort.

Babies don’t just nurse when they’re hungry.
They nurse when they’re scared, overwhelmed, overstimulated, or exhausted.

The breast is familiarity.
It’s safety.
It’s home in a world that’s still brand new.

If your baby nurses “just to comfort,” they aren’t using you.
They’re trusting you.

✨ Big Wins for Families in Oswego County! ✨

The OCO BFFNY Team is thrilled to celebrate a major step forward in creating more supportive, welcoming public and workplace environments for parents and their families. 💕

We’re proud to highlight newly designated breastfeeding/chestfeeding-friendly spaces at:
📍 Catholic Charities located in Fulton
📍 Friends of Recovery located in Fulton's Community Outreach Center
📍 Champlain Commons located in Oswego

These spaces help ensure that parents have access to safe, dignified, and comfortable environments to feed their babies—because families deserve support wherever they live, work, and gather.

A huge thank you to our community partners for their collaboration and commitment to making Oswego County a more family-friendly place for all. Together, we’re building environments where parents and caregivers feel seen, supported, and respected. 🤍
