This past week, we recognized Black Maternal Breastfeeding Week—a time to uplift Black breastfeeding and chestfeeding families, honor Black birth and lactation workers, and continue conversations about the support families deserve.

While the week may have come to an end, the need for community, culturally affirming care, accessible resources, and meaningful support continues every day. 🤎

Black families deserve to make informed choices about how they feed their babies and to have access to care and support that honors their experiences, needs, and communities.

At NMDA, we believe in the importance of rebuilding the village and recognizing the many people who help support families throughout pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond.

Let’s continue uplifting Black families, Black birth workers, Black lactation professionals, and the communities doing this important work—not just this week, but all year long. ✨

🌿 New Mexico perinatal providers — have you claimed your listing?

Building a village of support starts with making sure families can find the care and resources they need. 🤎

Postpartum Village is a perinatal health organization working to help New Mexico families build the “village” of support they need to thrive throughout the perinatal period. As part of this work, they’ve created a free, statewide directory of perinatal resources to help families easily find services in their local communities.

If you provide perinatal care or support in New Mexico, you can add a basic listing or claim an existing listing for FREE. This directory is open to all types of perinatal service providers, including:

🤎 Doulas & birth workers
🤎 Midwives
🤎 Lactation providers
🤎 Community health workers
🤎 OB/GYNs & family practice providers
🤎 Mental health practitioners
🤎 Pelvic floor therapists
🤎 Traditional healers
🤎 Newborn & pediatric specialists
🤎 And many more!

Already listed? Search the directory to see if you have an existing listing you can claim and update for free.

By helping keep this directory accurate and comprehensive, we can make it easier for New Mexico families to find the support available in their communities. 🌱

📲 Visit www.postpartumvillage.org to search, claim, or create your listing.

Questions? Reach out to [email protected].

Let’s keep building the village—together. 🤎
