This Pride Month, we celebrate the many families who nurture, love, and care for their babies.

Families come from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and identities. They may also use different words to describe feeding their babies, including breastfeeding, nursing, chestfeeding, and other terms that feel right for them.

At La Leche League USA, our focus is supporting families in meeting their feeding goals with accurate information, compassionate peer support, and a welcoming community. Respecting the words people use for themselves helps more families feel seen, heard, and supported.

We are proud to support families from all walks of life during Pride Month and throughout the year!

In the early days, it can be difficult for new parents to tell whether their baby is feeding effectively. Immediately after birth, diaper counts and stool color can give us important clues about how feeding is going. Once colostrum becomes transitional (and later mature) milk, there are three key things we look for in newborns: diaper output, audible swallowing, and visible swallowing.

There is a special kind of magic that happens when parents support parents. Join us this weekend for our La Leche League meeting at The Roasted Bookery. While digital spaces are great, the power of in-person connection simply cannot be duplicated. Let’s celebrate our families and strengthen our community together.
