Welcome to National Breastfeeding Month! This month is dedicated to celebrating the vital role of breastfeeding in promoting health and wellness for lactating parents and infants alike. This month, we come together to recognize the countless benefits of breastfeeding, from strengthening the bond between parent and child to providing essential nutrients that support healthy growth and development. Join us as we honor the incredible journey of human milk feeding, support families, and raise awareness about the importance of breastfeeding, chestfeeding, and human milk feeding  in nurturing our future generations.

We are excited to share a lineup of events and themes that highlight the importance of breastfeeding and support for all families. This year’s observances are packed with activities, discussions, and celebrations to promote and support breastfeeding in our communities. This year's National Breastfeeding Month theme of Nourish, Sustain, Thrive shines a light on why protecting, promoting, and supporting lactation is so important for the human life cycle, honor the incredible work that organizations are doing to make the world a little more friendly for new parents and families, and highlight how individuals, funders, and policymakers can contribute to a strong and sustainable lactation field.

We eagerly invite everyone to share your ideas, suggestions, and events with us as we are excited to collaborate and make this month an exceptional celebration of breastfeeding and its invaluable benefits.
