Becoming Breastfeed Durham
Breastfeed Durham, formerly known as Breastfeeding Family Friendly Communities of Durham, began in 2018 with the combined efforts of representatives from the Durham Women’s Council, Family Connects of Durham, and La Leche League of Durham. In 2019 we changed our name from Breastfeeding Family Friendly Communities of Durham to Breastfeed Durham. We launched our independent website in June 2020. The initiative is growing. Currently, the Breastfeed Durham team consists of over 2000 members who work, volunteer, and/or represent a variety of organizations including Durham Women’s Council, La Leche League of Durham, Moms Rising, Duke University Health System, the board of Breastfeeding Family Friendly Communities global, Carolina Global Breastfeeding Institute (CGBI)), the Durham City Council, the Durham Chamber of Commerce, Chamber of Commerce, Office of the Mayors of Durham, The Durham County Department of Public Health, the North Carolina Breastfeeding Coalition, Fatherhood of Durham, Family Contacts of Durham, faith-based groups, and many more.
