August is National Breastfeeding Month. This year’s theme is Forward Together. 💕
First and foremost, a HUGE thank you to the moms and parents that pour love, hard work, time, and dedication into their little ones. Whatever your journey looks like, we see you and appreciate the sacrifices, sweat, and tears. Keep up the great work. It's not always easy - heck, it can be pretty darn hard at times - but your efforts do not go unnoticed and DO make a crucial difference.
Breastfeeding/chestfeeding provides crucial benefits for babies, parents, employers, public health, and the economy at large. Yet, it's important to realize that breastfeeding parents cannot be expected to go this road alone. It takes a village of support. Lactation professionals, family, employers, advocates, and local and national policies all play a part in providing the support that can help parents meet and exceed their breastfeeding goals.
Forward Together, with solidarity, unity, and hope - organizations and advocates can help advance policies, systems, and environmental change that feeding families so deeply deserve and benefit society at large.
What support made a difference for you?
