San Diego Lactation Equity Alliance

San Diego Lactation Equity Alliance SDLEA is dedicated to ensuring that all families in San Diego have equitable access to lactation support, education, and resources.

We strive to eliminate disparities and promote healthy lactation practices across diverse communities. The mission of San Diego Breastfeeding Center Foundation (SDBFCF) is to reduce socioeconomic disparities in breastfeeding support by increasing access to qualified lactation consultants for low-income families. We plan to accomplish this through: (1) subsidized lactation visits with International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC), (2) collaborations and trainings to improve culturally-relevant breastfeeding knowledge among community practitioners, and (3) providing scholarships and internships for culturally diverse women to support them in becoming IBCLCs.

World Breastfeeding Week 2025 begins now!
This year, we’re centering working parents—because no one should have to choose between their paycheck and their baby’s nourishment.

At the San Diego Lactation Equity Alliance, we’re committed to building a future where every parent has access to the support, time, and space they need to feed their baby successfully—at home, in the workplace, and in the community.

It's time to create real change. Let’s uplift policies, resources, and equity-centered care that make breastfeeding possible for all working families.

We’re excited to share that we’re in the works of planning a joyful community picnic to celebrate Black Breastfeeding Week! Mark your calendars for August 30th from 10 AM–1 PM at Civita Park and get ready for a time filled with connection, laughter, and love.

Why does this matter?

Black Breastfeeding Week was created to address the unique barriers, cultural narratives, and health disparities that Black families face. Black infants are still less likely to be breastfed, and Black mothers are less likely to receive the support they deserve.

By coming together in community, we honor Black breastfeeding stories, break down stigma, and create spaces where Black families feel seen, celebrated, and uplifted.

This picnic is more than just a gathering — it’s a declaration that Black families and their feeding journeys matter. It’s a chance to build connections, access resources, and simply enjoy being together in a safe, affirming space.

Stay tuned for more details on activities, partners, and how you can be part of this beautiful celebration. We can’t wait to gather with you!
