It’s difficult to imagine being a first time parent in the midst of these changing times.
The Community Empowerment Fund (CEF) and a collective of community advocacy groups has put together a COVID-19 community resource page. They added an early a childhood (age 0 to 5 years) and a maternal health section this week.
They have asked for Breastfeeding Family Friendly Communities recommendations and additions.
This is a unique opportunity to communicate with new parents during this isolating time. We are not sure how the directory will change and grow after the information is shared with other organizations, but it was extremely important to us to put together a comprehensive list.
We will also continue to share information with the North Carolina Breastfeeding Coalition, the Durham Health Department, and local peer to peer lactation support groups.
Hopefully this is an opportunity to communicate COVID-19 response to thousands of pregnant families, breastfeeding families, and families of young children in the Piedmont.
Thanks for your help.
