National Breastfeeding Month Information and Promotion

The 2023 National Breastfeeding Month (NBM) theme, This is Our Why, will help shine a light on why this work is so important and center the conversation on the babies and families who need our support. Join us as we celebrate mothers and lactating parents and work to protect, promote, and support breastfeeding and human milk feeding for the 13th annual National Breastfeeding Month this August!
