Why Black Breastfeeding Week?
1. The high black infant mortality rate: Black babies are dying at twice the rate (in some places, nearly triple) of other babies. According to the CDC, increased breastfeeding among black women could decrease infant mortality rates by as much as 50%. 2. High rates of diet-related disease.
3. Lack of diversity in lactation field: Not only are there blatant racial disparities in breastfeeding rates, there is a blatant disparity in breastfeeding leadership as well.
4. Unique cultural barriers among black women: While many of the “booby traps” to breastfeeding are universal, Black women also have unique cultural barriers and a complex history connected to breastfeeding. From our role as wet nurses in slavery being forced to breastfeed and nurture our slave owners children often to the detriment of our children, to the lack of mainstream role models and multi-generational support , to our own stereotyping within our community—we have a different dialogue around breastfeeding and it needs special attention.
5. Desert-Like Conditions in Our Communities. In many urban areas women cannot access support for the best first food-breast milk.
