It’s Black Breastfeeding Week. 🤱🏿

This week is an opportunity to celebrate Black families, honor the many different experiences of Black breastfeeding and chestfeeding, and recognize the importance of community, care, support, and representation.

This year’s theme from Black Breastfeeding Week (Black Breastfeeding Week), “We All We Got: 14 Years of Community, Care, and Collective Power,” feels especially meaningful. Here’s to continuing the conversation, sharing knowledge, and uplifting the people and communities doing this work. 🤱🏾👨🏿‍🍼
