Last week at the Human Milk Symposium Summit, the San Diego County Breastfeeding Coalition gathered with community leaders, clinicians, lactation professionals, and advocates during the pre-conference Community Working Group meeting to celebrate something we’ve been building together for months.

✨ We officially launched our new Online Breastfeeding Resource Directory.

This digital tool expands our long-standing Breastfeeding Resource Guide into a searchable, interactive platform that helps families quickly find trusted lactation support near them. With a map feature and directory of providers, families can now connect with IBCLCs, peer counselors, clinics, and community resources across the county with just a few clicks.

The launch sparked meaningful conversations about access, equity, and how we continue strengthening lactation support systems for all families in our region.

Thank you to everyone who joined the conversation, shared ideas, and continues to show up for breastfeeding families. This work is truly a community effort. 💛

Check it out here breastfeeding.org/directory

The online resource directory was developed and is maintained by the San Diego County Breastfeeding Coalition, informed by members of the Community Advisory Board with support from Kaiser Permanente grant funding through partnership with the San Diego County Childhood Obesity Initiative - funded by the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency and facilitated by the UC San Diego Center for Community Health in collaboration with the UC San Diego Human Milk Institute.

The San Diego County Breastfeeding Coalition (SDCBC), in continued partnership with Global Communities Healthy Start, is proud to expand our free breastfeeding support warmline to better serve San Diego’s beautifully diverse community.

Thanks to this collaboration, we now offer breastfeeding support in multiple languages — helping more families access the care, information, and encouragement they deserve. Support is currently available in:

English, Spanish, , Korean, Arabic, French, Haitian Creole, and Somali —with more languages coming soon!

At SDCBC, we believe that language should never be a barrier to care. Our mission is to ensure every parent feels supported and empowered in their breastfeeding journey, no matter what language they speak.

📞 Call our free warmline for support in your preferred language:

Our hearts and prayers are with everyone affected by the devastating wildfires in our region. The San Diego County Breastfeeding Coalition stands in solidarity with families facing displacement and challenges during this time. Wildfires pose unique difficulties for birthing families and those breastfeeding or chestfeeding, but breastfeeding remains vital, offering essential nutrients and immune protection to infants. Parents exposed to smoke can safely continue breastfeeding by taking precautions such as showering to remove smoke particles, changing clothing, and protecting infants from airborne toxins. We encourage families to prioritize their well-being and reach out for support.

In solidarity,
San Diego County Breastfeeding Coalition
