Our goal at Breastfeeding Family Friendly Communities of Durham is to support all families in our community during this unprecedented and stressful time. We know that information and recommendations are changing rapidly and it can be difficult to find the resources you need to sustain your family. Please see Breastfeeding Family Friendly Communities’ COVID-19 Emergency Resources Page for up to date information, resources, tips, and support.

Lactation Support
Breastfeeding during a pandemic can feel isolating, but you are not alone! Local providers and support groups are transitioning their support to virtual formats, including free support groups. Visit our Virtual Lactation Support and Peer Support pages for more information and meeting details.
Giving Birth During COVID-19
For expecting parents preparing for birth, we have compiled a list of Birth Resources that will help you know what to expect and how to plan for your baby’s arrival, including hospital restrictions, considerations for possible separation, as well as sample birth wish intention plans.
