Breastfeeding is one of the most powerful ways to give children a strong start, but families often need support to navigate challenges and stay on track. A successful breastfeeding journey is built on layers of support at every step.

Breastfeeding is a foundation for lifelong health for moms and babies. But parents can't do it alone. Investing in breastfeeding means investing in stronger families and healthier communities. From lactation support to pumping supplies. These tools are essential to each person's journey.
Join us in calling on Congress to support funding for breastfeeding families. Text LatchOn to [phone] to tell your members of Congress to protect and fully fund breastfeeding programs in hospitals, workplaces, childcare centers, and communities!
