Black Breastfeeding Week is an important opportunity to celebrate Black parents who breastfeed while also shining a light on the barriers that can make breastfeeding more difficult for Black families. Representation matters. Access to culturally responsive lactation support matters. Community support matters.

This week reminds us that every family deserves the opportunity to meet their breastfeeding and infant-feeding goals, regardless of race, zip code, income, or circumstances.

We celebrate the Black mothers, parents, babies, families, lactation professionals, peer counselors, community organizations, and advocates working every day to create stronger breastfeeding support systems.

When communities are supported, families thrive.

Let’s continue working together to build a Delaware where every parent has access to the information, resources, support, and encouragement they need to reach their feeding goals.

Happy Black Breastfeeding Week!

Celebrate!

Board members of the Breastfeeding Coalition of Delaware were honored to attend today’s Breastfeeding Proclamation in collaboration with Nemours Children’s Health.

Today we celebrate the hard work happening across our state, while also recognizing the important work that still lies ahead to ensure all families have access to the support they need to breastfeed and thrive. Events like this highlight the power of partnership, advocacy, and community in advancing maternal and infant health.

We are grateful to stand alongside dedicated partners and advocates committed to improving health outcomes for families across Delaware and look forward to continuing this important work.

We’re grateful to have attended today’s Powered by Breastmilk event, sponsored by Beebe Healthcare and Nemours Children’s Health, as we kick off National Breastfeeding Month!

A special highlight of the event was the Mayor of Lewes officially signing and presenting a proclamation declaring August as Breastfeeding Month. The proclamation encourages all Lewes community members and local businesses to support breastfeeding families and help create welcoming spaces where parents and babies can thrive.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this meaningful event possible and for your continued commitment to supporting breastfeeding families throughout our community. Together, we can make a lasting difference! 💙🤱
