Back at School for Lactating Educators
Educators have gone above and beyond to support our children, and we know that students are starting to return to the classroom. Thank you for the support educators give to our community. This has been an especially challenging year! We are hearing questions from lactating educators about how to keep their milk safe as they return to work. Here are resources both for lactating educators and for all who wish to support their colleagues. Breastfeeding is one of the few immune boosters that we currently can offer to our infants during this global pandemic. Breastfeeding rates increase dramatically with support.

The events of the past year weighs heavily on Breastfeed Durham, a community committed to equity and a family-friendly environment for everyone in Durham. These events come amidst a disturbing nationwide rise in violence including the attacks in Atlanta and in Boulder. To our families who have experienced trauma, we stand with you, and we mourn with you. We reaffirm our responsibility to fight racism and uphold our commitment to making central affinity spaces for all breastfeeding families in Durham.
