🌍✨ World Breastfeeding Week is Here!
And with it, we officially launch Live, Love, Latch!® 2025—a powerful celebration of community-centered lactation support across the country! 💛
🗓️ National Breastfeeding Month runs from August 1 to September 8 and honors the diverse families and traditions that center human milk feeding.
Presented by La Leche League USA, Live, Love, Latch!® is more than a celebration—it's a call to action to recognize the community behind every nursing dyad. This year’s theme says it all:
💜 Live, Love, Latch!® 2025 Theme:
“Strength in Connection: Building a Village for Every Family.”
From global movements to grassroots support groups, this month is about lifting each other up—and recognizing that when families are supported, they thrive.
🌐 Live, Love, Latch!® events are happening NOW nationwide—both in-person and virtually!
So whether you're a parent, provider, partner, or passionate supporter, there’s a place for YOU.
