This week is about more than breastfeeding statistics. This week is about visibility, equity, celebration, joy, and community.
Celebrating Black parents who nurse, pump, provide human milk, or support others on breastfeeding journeys. Celebrating Black lactation professionals, peer supporters, health care providers, community leaders, and generations of knowledge and care that continue to shape families today.

Recognizing the importance of equitable access to information, skilled support, respectful care, and welcoming spaces where every family feels seen, heard, and respected.

Joy matters. Representation matters. Support matters.

Join the celebration of Black breastfeeding this week and explore what it takes to create truly supportive communities.

Some babies nurse directly.
Some receive expressed milk.
Some use a combination of feeding methods.
Families find many ways to meet their goals.
Your story matters.

Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Breastfeeding Week

Statistics help improve healthcare. Stories help explain the statistics.

Whether your breastfeeding journey lasted one day, one month, or several years, your experience matters. When families share their stories with healthcare providers, researchers, and support organizations, they help improve care for future parents.

If you're comfortable sharing...
What is one piece of support that made a difference during your feeding journey?

Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Breastfeeding Week

MYTH:
"All AANHPI families have similar breastfeeding experiences."

REALITY:
The AANHPI community includes more than 50 ethnic groups and over 100 languages. Every family's traditions, healthcare experiences, support systems, and challenges are different.
When healthcare data combines everyone into one category, important differences can disappear.

Better data means more accurate research. Better research leads to better care.

Drop a ❤️ to show your support for better data and better care.

When families aren't counted, their experiences can be overlooked.

Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities include dozens of cultures, languages, traditions, and lived experiences. Grouping everyone into one category can hide important differences in breastfeeding support, health outcomes, and access to care.
Better data helps healthcare providers, researchers, and communities understand where support is working and where families are still being left behind.

LLL Alliance believes every family deserves information, encouragement, and community that reflects their unique story.
This week we'll explore why better data matters and how listening to families leads to better care.

Tell us in the comments: What does feeling truly seen and supported look like to you?

As we recognize Indigenous Milk Medicine Week (August 8-14), we honor the generations of Indigenous families who have protected and carried forward the traditions, wisdom, and cultural significance of human milk feeding.

This year's theme, "We Keep the Fires Lit: Rising Through Milk Medicine," celebrates the resilience of Indigenous communities and the enduring role of Milk Medicine in nourishing families, preserving culture, and strengthening future generations.

The featured artwork was created by Julianne Denny (Cree, Ojibway, Mi'kmaq), an Indigenous artist, lactation counselor, and birth-worker whose work reflects ceremony, kinship, and first foods.

Throughout history, breastfeeding knowledge was passed from generation to generation. Parents learned by watching, asking questions, and supporting one another. That is still true today. Nobody is meant to figure it all out alone.

One of the biggest worries new parents have is whether their baby is getting enough milk.
The amount you pump is not a good measure of how much milk your baby can remove at the breast.

Instead, watch your baby, not the ounces.

Indigenous Milk Medicine Week honors the deep cultural knowledge, traditions, and community wisdom surrounding infant feeding.
For many Indigenous communities, feeding babies has always been connected to culture, ceremony, family, and collective care.
This week is a time to listen, learn, uplift Indigenous voices, and recognize the importance of protecting traditional knowledge and culturally safe support for families.
