National Breastfeeding Month 2023 | Events

This August marks the 13th annual National Breastfeeding Month! This 2023 National Breastfeeding Month theme is This is Our Why. We aim to center the conversation on babies and families who need our support and highlight why our work to support lactation and breastfeeding is so important. Throughout the month of August, we want to celebrate and recognize all the work you are doing. If you’re having any events, or know of any breastfeeding events in August, please let us know so we can help and support you. Send to Breastfeed Durham at <durham@breastfeedingcommunities.org>.
