Our mission as a non-profit is to deliver expert lactation care, essential maternal health services, and compassionate support through personalized consultations, classes, and resources for new and expectant parents.

A family’s breastfeeding journey usually begins in the hospital. However, supportive policies and access to continued, coordinated support in the community can help families continue breastfeeding. Once families leave their birthing setting, breastfeeding rates drop slowly but consistently. This finding suggests that families may need additional support to achieve exclusive breastfeeding and longer breastfeeding. - CDC
