Happy Black Breastfeeding Week! This year's theme is "Boots on the Ground; Rooted in Breastfeeding Success, Grounded in Community Support."​

Black Breastfeeding Week is celebrated annually from August 25-31. The observance was developed as a response to the high black infant mortality rate, the lack of diversity in the lactation field, and unique cultural barriers among Black women, and shines a light on efforts and initiatives that support breastfeeding among Black families. ​Follow Black Breastfeeding Week to stay engaged this week.
