🎉 Please join us in welcoming our newest Secretary, Denisse Mejia, IBCLC, to the Tarrant County Breastfeeding Coalition leadership team!

Denisse is the founder of Texas Breastfeeding Center and has dedicated her career to supporting families through evidence-based, compassionate lactation care. As a bilingual lactation consultant whose first language is Spanish, she is especially passionate about improving access to care and education for underserved and historically underrepresented communities.

💛 A mother’s love is in the little moments…

In the way she lifts you up,
the way she shows up — even when she’s tired,
the quiet sacrifices no one else sees.

Motherhood isn’t always easy, but it is powerful, tender, and deeply meaningful in ways words can’t fully capture.

As Mother’s Day approaches, we honor every parent nurturing, feeding, comforting, and loving their babies — in all the ways that matter most.

You are seen.
You are appreciated.
And what you’re doing matters more than you know. 🍼✨

In the quiet moments — the feeds, the cuddles, the tiny hands wrapped around yours — you are building something so much bigger than you realize.

This is connection.
This is comfort.
This is love.

Whether today felt easy or hard, you showed up for your baby… and that matters more than anything.

You’re doing an incredible job. 🍼✨

💛 A Gentle Reminder for Parents

Feeding your baby is not a competition. It’s a relationship.

Whether you’re nursing, pumping, supplementing, combo feeding, or figuring it out one day at a time — you deserve support, not pressure. Your journey may look different from someone else’s, and that’s okay.

In Texas and beyond, we’re working to build communities where families feel informed, encouraged, and never judged.

You are doing important work.
You are not alone.
And support is always within reach. 🍼✨
